I think Brian learned a valuable lesson last week. He was frustrated and I told him, 'They're going to make us beat them by throwing the football, so you need to take that as a compliment.'

This is his hometown. What better way of honoring him?
Energy costs have just gone sky high on us as everyone else. Anything the school system can do to try and conserve energy we are going to do.
If you are cold at night, let the promise of my love cover you like a warm blanket
He played a lot of footy and knows a lot about the game . . . the three of us have been taken aback by his enthusiasm and knowledge.
