Living In a Snow Globe

Howdy,
Last Tuesday arvo me, Norris and Crades packed the ever reliable Civic and headed 200 miles down the interstate to Springfield, Missouri, to visit our mate and fellow Novacastrian Pat Bergin. Springfield is home to Missouri State University where Pat is studying and swimming and is also Brad Pitts home town. We were spoilt with good food, good weather and some great roads to train on and train we did putting some solid kays down. Thanksgiving had a very international flavour with four Aussies, two Canadians, and a Venezuelan. We feasted on a huge lunch prepared by Eric, Pats roommate and Francy Pats girlyfriend and even threw in a good old Aussie piss up for good measure.
Friday night we were lucky enough to sneak into the brand new $100m basketball stadium where Missouri State were playing the University of Utah which is where Andrew Bogurt played in college and before being the number one draft pick of 2005.

Saturday morning we headed back to sunny St.Charles and waking up on Sunday morning we were greeted with two inches of white fluffy snow. The novelty of snow has quickly worn off having done 4 and half hours on the rollers in the last 2 days and whole day of slipping over on ice and getting frozen from walking from class to class.

Ciao, Chev.

Snow on the footy field.
