Ju Huck Bien

I'm happy to report that the snow is long gone and Spring seems to have truly arrived. In fact, the grass is turning green and the bunnies are now sporting their brown coats. Edmontonians are going crazy and wearing sandals, skirts and shorts when it's a mere 9 degrees in the morning, but it sure does feel warm!

I started an ultimate team this summer with a bunch of friends and members from our dodgeball team. In previous years, I've played on other teams, but this year I decided to start a new team because I knew a lot of people who wanted to play but had never joined before. So we made a team, and following up on our dodgeball team named 'Je Dodge Bien', we named ourselves 'Je Huck Bien' (a huck is a long throw). Yesterday evening we all met up and had our first practice of the season in the springtime weather. It was really fun and everyone had a good time, although we did end up with an injury involving someone's head hitting another's eyebrow. Cuts on the eyebrow, as it turns out, bleed profusely and tend to gape open, by virtue of the normal eyebrow structure. Our team member ended up getting three stitches to keep it all closed up. I'm hoping our next practice is less...eventful and just as fun!
