Hey everybody,

Good day off today.  Always nice to have a nice quite day to recharge the batteries.  I didn’t have any yard work or projects around the house.  Just a little photo shoot for a up coming book.  That was fun, totally casual and the photographer’s wife made some great turkey sandwiches for lunch.  So win-win all around.  

Tomorrow the preparation starts for the game against Chivas back down in L.A.  Happy that I’m eligible to play this time.  Chivas has had a very good start to the season and have already beaten us this season.  We would sure love to avenge that loss and get back on the top of the table.  

Today being a day off is a perfect day to answer some more questions.

I’ve been asked a few times what is up with the taped captain’s arm band?  It is a pretty simple answer.   I can’t find one that fits the way I want it to, either the band is too tight or it is too loose.  With the tape I have a band that is not restricting and won’t fall off.   I’m trying to get the kit man to sew a band around the arm.  I think that will work well and look better than the tape.

The other question is why I wasn’t chewing gum in the game the other night?  About ten minutes into the game I was yelling about something and I accidently spit my gum out on the turf.  So for the rest of the half I was gumless.  At half-time I forgot to put a new piece in, so the assistant kit guy went to get me a new stick.  I can’t remember if he actually gave it to me or not.  My guess is he did, but I can’t remember for sure.

Looking forward to a great week of training and a good game on Saturday.  I hope you get a chance to sneak away from work and get outside in this great weather.  Get on the water or the golf course, or just sit on the deck with a good book.
