Nicolai turned in a very respectable set of grades for the semester and with the term and soccer season now over, he had some time this weekend to just hang out. I photographed him before leaving for my soccer match while he was texting a friend and watching TV at the same time.

I played reasonably well with an assist on our only goal which was good enough to secure a 1-1 tie and retain our hold on first place going into our final match of regulation play on Thursday night. My right quad is returning to full strength and the numbness in that leg is ever so slowly diminishing. While I am sure this is a good thing, I must admit that it has been very liberating to play without any sensation of pain since the numbness set in.
