Contact

Matthias is very into sports at the moment. He plays for the school's Rugby team and practices basketball Wednesday after school. There is also additional rugby training Monday, and last Saturday he was in Kirkcaldy to play against another school.
Now, this is the time when his parents wish he would have chosen golf, snooker or any other non-contact sport. Monday he arrived home with a shoulder injury from another player's boot, and he has already had several other minor scratches. One of the other boys broke his collar bone. These things worry parents, trust me.
Yesterday I went to the driving range at Braid Hills golf course, not far from our house. I went with my friend P (not P from Prague, but P from further down the street), and we both hadn't played for a very long time. It was so nice whacking those little white suckers away. So nice we'll be doing it again. And Matthias is coming next time. Time he had some healthy interests.
