We're all just about sick of the cold. Except for Alaska, where people are complaining about their warm winter.

Rugby must be a European thing, innit? Well they are much more "progressive" over there.<br /><br />Joking, joking. It's great, man. Any physical activity for kids that involves using more muscles than just those in their two thumbs is terrific.<br /><br />But I agree, let's hope the future games are in warmer weather.Bob Barbanes:https://www.blogger.com/profile/12344068760904928223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-87479337447779145312010-02-26T20:29:53.979-06:002010-02-26T20:29:53.979-06:00This sounds really interesting!

I know he plays soccer, but I'm thinking he does both. <br /><br />I'm with you on the cold and you've had more of it than I have.
