My rugby club, Denver Highlanders RFC, play the Gentlemen of Aspen RFC today for first place in our division. Though I'm a wee bit old for action on the pitch, that doesn't stop those old saturday-morning, pre-game feelings from flooding my senses: I step outside, the smell of the crisp, spring air invigorating; the early morning chill causes a thrilling shiver disproportionate with the tolerable temperature; a glance at a somewhat overcast sky tells me it will be a good day for high ball if the wind visits a place different than Denver today; and the soft sounds of early morning belie the thunder in my heart.
I'm off early to work with our group of 5-9 year olds prior to the Senior's match, seeing today's players in the youngsters and vice-versa.
Oh, happy, healthy Saturday for one and all! Go you Highlanders!
