Happy American Thanksgiving! I really like American thanksgiving because I feel like it marks the start of Christmas for me! I can officially start listening to music and getting in the spirit.

I saw a new physio out here in CT about my ankle and he was the first person who told me I can play without pain! Obviously I love him. He is an osteopath and examined me for about 45 minutes and told me what he found wrong with my body and then asked me to state why I came in. I am hoping he will be able to "fix" my problems and I can finally move forward.

Gearing up for American Thanksgiving this week. I have made a few breads and believe apple pie is next up on the list!

I am getting pretty excited to get home and see the new house/ help out the family a little, 2 weeks from today. It sounds as though there will be lots to do which means we will not be bored on our visit!
I played pick up for the first time today since returning from Brazil it was a lot of fun to play again. Way better than just shooting by yourself. The ankle feels pretty good so perhaps all the exercises I am doing are helping it "heal". I am going to see a physio in the area tomorrow and see if he has anything new to say about my ankle.

I am including a picture of Ben's bruise... the pictures do not do it justice. He may have beaten me at the worst bruise he took two pucks in the leg... in the same game!

The draw will be released tomorrow for next summers worlds will be interesting to see who we will play and what town we will be in! Check out the CB blog for the release.

I watched Food Inc. last night. I don't think I will ever look at the grocery store the same way! I recommend it to everyone, especially my family, you need to watch it! I feel like I am leaning more towards the "hippie" style of life everyday. Went grocery shopping at the local food co-op today supporting the local farmers! This movie made me want to grow my own chickens to eat... or find a farm to buy them off. Our food system in North America is pretty disturbing, hopefully it can change one day! The first step is awarness so go rent the movie it is a new release.

I was battling my first cold of the winter season last week. Always miserable but I did catch up on a lot of tv watching and reading. I was never bored! The cough seems to be lasting a little longer than I would like but I feel 100%, just don't sound like it.

I am getting back into the swing of workouts now... put up a few shots yesterday without pain! Ben has set up a schedule for me, apparently he doesn't trust that I won't overdo it! I am working my way back into things slowly. My ankle continues to be a work in progress, I am doing rehab exercises and working on being able to play pain free.

No new overseas or travel updates still waiting on all that so my life continues to be up in the air. I mean now that my parents are moving I don't even know my "home" address anymore!
