I missed the ninth anniversary of my daily photo journal last month.  It all started with a photo of Maya taken on May 13, 2005.  It is hard to believe that I have managed to keep the blog going for nearly a decade (some 5,488 posts worth). Despite all the effort, I can honestly say it is one of the best things I have ever created. I am hoping one day to convert the entire thing into a book (hopefully with an app that can do this with the push of a button).

The Old North Bridge makes for a nice place to take photographs and it took little persuasion while we were in the area to interest Jeanine in a stroll down to the river.

For the first time this season, I stepped on the soccer pitch absent any nagging injuries or pain. Unfortunately, the cost of full recuperation also meant that my cardio fitness is not where it needs to be. I played 70 minutes but never really felt I made the kind of contribution of which I am capable.  Our team had to settle for a scoreless tie which did not help us move up from our third place standing with only two games remaining in the season.

Maya, on the other hand, had a tremendous game scoring a goal and two assists in a short-handed 5-1 win.
