My nephew, Andy Pickrell, who lives in Fresno and plays rugby on a local team, had been selected to be on the Pacific Grizzly Rugby Team, which was to play in a national tournament near Orlando Dec 7-9. So of course we changed our itinerary just slightly so we could be there! Rugby is a brutal game; we don't really understand the rules; it was a bit warm in the sun. But, Andy is family, and we would have done anything to be there to support him! Although he didn't actually get to play much (he was second string behind the fellow who was voted MVP for the whole weekend!), his team won the All-Star National Men's Championship Rugby Tournament. We were there as they were presented with the silver cup, and each got a medal. It was an exciting moment!
