Who I Is

I'm just an old(er) Rugby player from Northern Iowa who has gained a great deal from the sport of Rugby, and like to share my love of this sport with family, friends, and other Ruggers. If you have some time, check out my links on the right side of this page. In the Flickr photo albums there are over 2,000 pics from past Rugby trips I've taken, and from my hometown team, River City Rugby. There's also some great videos on the YouTube link! If you want to learn more about Golden Oldies Rugby be sure to click on that link as well. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy what I post here. I am on Facebook too, so look me up and add me if you'd like. Cheers!

Slabbs Was Here!

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since Marty "Slabbs" Rodgers made his way to our little city, but the memories will last quite awhile! Marty and Isaac Luten ( a Sydney OBD) arrived at our Clubhouse a little behind schedule, but it wasn't a huge deal. We proceeded to give Marty the tour of our team's Clubhouse, then spent a couple of hours looking back on our tour and consuming a few adult beverages.



As the afternoon/evening progressed we went to a bar/restaurant in town for an evening meal and more beverages, then to our last stop of the night, a bar that was having Karaoke (singing along to music). Needless to say, it got VERY interesting at that point! There was countless songs sung, dances danced, and a few too many beverages consumed by a few of our party.




One tradition of this particular bar is that if you sing three times you must kiss the stuffed moose head on the wall. We had Roger & Isaac perform this honorable task out of our group.


All in all it was a great night with our friend from Down Under. Slabbs said he had an amazing time, as we did, and can't wait until we meet up again. I'm sure if and when he makes it this way again, or we venture south to Australia again, the end result will be the same...good times with great friends. It's all part of our Golden Oldies Rugby world.
