It seems like this blog is getting more and more difficult to write. If there was something that could top the last entry I wrote way back in April, this is probably it. Looking back, I think writing what I did about losing the NSR was a lot about acceptance and moving on from a … Continue reading The Greyhound and the Rabbit
The One I Didn’t Want to Write
I don't want to write this post. I don't want to, and I haven't wanted to since NSR 1 finished up on Saturday morning.

We have pretty much picked right up with … Continue reading 2014 World Cup II
