Best Wishes for your future success! You'll be missed, but I hope you at least stop in when you can connect with the outside world!!

A friend and his wife went into the middle of South America to play in an orchestra.
Stayed three years. Immersion in another culture does amazing things. Playing for Pizza by Grisham, details an American QB going to Parma. Living with the local scene, and loving it. Comes to mind. Have a great time. I can appreciate the decision. |

What a sacrifice! I would be happy to help out in the capacity as physio, and be there to give the whole team a good massage and rub down after games or daily as needed, even if it does cause me to stiffen up a bit.

Congrats Peter, I don't know how you're gonna get all those wet t-shirts dry... unless you try plenty of friction.
How will I fight the 'Rolex never made a Tudor co-branded watch' crowd without you?

Thanks for taking one for the team, Peter. I'm sure you'll enjoy all that, um, one on one interaction.

Just be sure to find time to actually practice soccer.
It'll be a challenge, but I feel certain that with discipline and and a strong will, you'll get at least one practice session in before the season begins. Good luck.

I hope you can keep it up the whole time Peter. The hard part, that is. You know - the dedication to perform solidly at your very best.
