Cycling to Work

April 19th, 2010

Wow, how I used to scoff at those who claimed that going to the gym was 'boring' in comparision to jogging around or cycling. But I have been converted - I decided to get up and cycle to work today and wow, I have never enjoyed cycling so much! Boston is very flat, sorry Howth, and the sun still coming up made a fantastic sight as I came over the Longfellow Bridge. I will endevour to get a picture tomorrow. Hopefully the cycle home will be as pleasurable though there will be more traffic about with the end of the Boston Marathon now...

MIT v. Berkshire

April 17th, 2010

well Saturday turned out to be a gorgeous day and the day of MIT v. Berkshire game out in Pittsfield, MA. I rented a Zip Car and headed out for a very enjoyable game of rugby - sadly since I was driving I couldn't stay for the social after. The full game got recorded and instead of putting up each individual clip here is the playlist from youtube that links all of them together!

MIT v. Suffolk Law

April 14th, 2010

Over the weekend MIT played a great game against Suffolk Law - despite the attempts of ref who may need to brush up on a rule or all. Fantastic day as demonstrated by the burning and the 26-15 ending score! Also I was able to actually properly record a bit more of the game this time, I will need to try and convince one of the other lads to record when I am on the field though... this may involve alcohol bribes...

You can watch half the game anyway at the following links:
