Bathurst Weekend Again

Every year that I’ve known my lovely wife I’ve resolved to spend the whole day on Bathurst Sunday watching the race. And not just the start and the end, but the WHOLE race. Thus far that little personal goal had completely eluded me.

Every year it seems something comes up. Picking up/dropping off my boys, Lions Book Sale, and now… NZCF Junior Leaders Course.  On Sunday I won’t be parked in front of telly with a few Epics to keep me company. No. instead I’ll be in a classroom instructing on the basics of foot drill instruction. *Le Sigh*

Don’t get me wrong though. I’m really looking forward to the course. I’ve been waiting years to get enough leave accumulated to do it. But the timing SUCKS! I mean… It’s also quarter finals time in the Rugby World Cup. Note to the All Blacks: if you get knocked out by Argentina this weekend while I’m away I’m gonna be soooo pissed. Just saying.

So now I’m on a bus to Ohakea for 8 days (and blogging… How cool is that?). The last time I took a bus to Ohakea I was a student on the same course. And it was 1992. How old do I feel? Rather ironically I would have all the time in the world to watch Bathurst back then. But I didn’t.

Next year EVERYTHING that doesn’t involve a television, a couch and some beers is  canceled for Bathurst Sunday
