No Pain, No Gain........

Throughout my career I have been fortunate to not suffer from any major injuries (knock on wood) that took me out of a lot of games. In college I never sprained an ankle, I had a nagging plantar faciitis in my right foot, my sophomore year I had off season surgery but never missed a game. For some reason this year I had a few minor injuries that put me out of commission. Once I got over one injury another always seemed to follow. Here is a few pictures of the injuries I suffered this season. As my dad used to say "No pain, no gain"....

The first of the injuries, a broken nose....
Two elbows in one game. ER knew my first name....
Sprained ligaments in hand...
Second degree ankle sprain. Some of the bruising is from Meso Therapy.

I also suffered a calf pull in my left calf that sidelined me for a couple games. This year was a first for me, I've never had so many minor injuries in a season but in the end we won a championship. I just had to build my pain tolerance up to get there.....

Happy Mother's Day & FInals 1-0

The Finals have finally begun. Yesterday we won the first game in a best of 5 series 77-65. It was a great game from start to finish. We did a good job of holding them to 65 points and probably could have done a little better if we didn't allow so many offensive rebounds. I'm sure we'll correct our mistakes for the next game. After the game the junior club had a BBQ so we were invited to join the tent festivities and enjoy the ribs they cooked. Surprising they weren't that bad. Our next game is Wednesday, wish us luck so we can get home earlier...
I spent my day off swimming at planet and hanging out at a lido by the lake. After the lido we walked around downtown and to my delight they had a car show/display going on, so all the downtown alley ways were filled with cars on display. I think my favorite of all of them was a Charcoal Grey Bentley GT that was going for 330,000 CHF!!!!!
Happy Mother's Day Momz and Roch! Also to the rest of the wonderful Moms in this world. May this day bring you great happiness and all the gratitude in the world because you all deserve it. Picture above is at brunch, Mother's Day '06, in Santa Clara, Ca

Until next time............................................. Love
