Conundrum

I'm a bit torn at the moment. I had originally planned on going to CoTex hash house harriers weekend in June. However, I just learned about the Churchill Cup rugby matches. They will be played in the SF Bay Area.



I know that for the rest of you hashers out there (minus Scrummy), this is a no brainer. However, rugby was a very important part of my life for about 8 years. Partly because it fit in with the "tough girl" attitude I had after my dad died. You know, the classic "I don't need anybody. I'm tough. I can handle things on my own" kind of crap. When I eventually got over that phase I just loved the sport. I loved the fact that you could knock the crap out of someone on the pitch, and after they would hand you a beer and say, "Nice tackle." That was what it was all about for me.

Even though I don't play anymore minus one tournament a year, I still like to follow it. It would be absolutely AMAZING to see Ireland and the New Zealand Maori play. The US isn't all that good, but we're slowly improving. I think the NFL has had a lot to do with rugby not being more popular here, but that's a different rant for a different time. As you can see by the schedule, Ireland is playing NZ on the same Saturday as CoTex. It's not often one gets an opportunity to see an international rugby match of this caliber. Plus, one of my old teammates may be flying in from TN to go to the matches as well so I'd be able to hang out with her. And I could finally see the haka live.

What to do?
