Picnic in the Park



Henning arranged a company picnic in Regents Park. The weather cooperated. The good people attended. After a few sandwiches from Marks and Sparks, it was on to the action. Some of the guys started out with beers in hand but soon realized they were gonna have to run in this game of footy.

The Somali Sizzle (Sucad) shocked us all with her fancy footwork. Claudia scored on me, maybe more than once, during my time as goalie. Mario turned up at half time and immediately scored a few for our side. Brian was the amazing "wheels on the field," challenging any opponent with the ball, no matter what position they were playing. Position?! What am I talking about. We were like a clump of bees buzzing around the ball, except when we were too puffed out to run and decided to drop back on D.

I really suck at soccer, both defense and offense, but it's so much fun to play!
