I was back home in Fergus last week, battling the post-Jamaica blues and fighting off an oncoming cold (I lost that struggle decisively).  Trained mostly at the University of Guelph, for whose continued support I’m very grateful.

We’re in Warm Springs, Georgia this week, competing in the Joe Lyttle Tournament (formerly the Roosevelt Cup).  Half the field from Beijing is here including teams we haven’t played in several years – Israel, Sweden, and Japan.  I might be excited about that, if it weren’t for the lingering effects of this cold.  Symptoms include mild depression and recurring daydreams about life after basketball.  But such visions come and go regularly these days, and I try not to pay too much attention.  Invariably all it takes is one good practice and a couple of laughs with the guys, and it passes.  And then I enjoy myself immensely.  Until the next one comes.
