I have never been to Texas! (yet)
Guess who just dropped $500 on airplane tickets to Austin, TX to play rugby there?

In which things are worked out through cardio

A persistent black mood, too - it was not alleviated by a delicious bowl of oatmeal, the memory of my awesome rugby day yesterday, the fact that I was somehow not very sore from said rugby day, or even doing my finances (something that usually is frustrating but satisfactory, as I end up ( Read more... ) -
