Having missed my indoor soccer match last week while in China, I returned to the field this evening with a well-rested body. Unfortunately, I was still suffering from the head cold I had been fighting for about a week now. I predicted ahead of the game to my teammates that I was either going to play exceptionally well or exceptionally badly based on my prior experiences when playing while ill. We won our match 11-5 and I came away with a double hat trick (my highest-scoring game ever) and several assists. The best part is that I managed to do this without getting injured, which often happens when I push myself this hard.

I received another picture from the girls. It appears they are enjoying a latte with fresh buffalo milk.
