Defeat Conceded
I have upgraded my junk filtering system in my email account, in a desperate attempt to limit the amount of poo that bombards me on a daily basis. (Imagine the job of brainstorming the subject lines..." zoo porn. live audio cam of girls doing something illegal, etc" Those titles my little mind can filter out, and not open. It's the sneaky ones that get to me,"Regarding your Resume, Job Match, Interview Inquiry." They have found my weakness, and are exploiting me.
If you send mail and fail to hear back from me, please be patient while I fiddle with the settings.
On a similar note, I will not be checking email for at least the next two weeks. We pushed our trip departure back to Saturday morning, and will be on the road to Swampville. The best (and only) way to reach me is via my mobile. No need to repost the number, as the only two people that call me already have it:)
We tailored the timing of our trip to coincide with soemthing calledSwamp Soccer. From the mouth of some witty chap:
The world championships of swamp soccer are a unique happening in the world. Only Finnish people are crazy enough to build the whole swamp soccer stadium in the middle of nowhere - and not only the stadium but also 25 metres long sauna in the middle of the stadium, right next to deep swamp lake! I´d call this exotic...
The history of swampsoccer is very young. It was created by combining traditional soccer and very soft swamp field. First ones who played it were skiers and Finnish defence forces, to practise their physical strength.
Rules are basically customized from soccer, the main difference is with corner kics, penalty kicks and throw-ins, which are kicked in. Matches are played at soft (or very soft) swamp field which is about 35 metres wide and 60 metres long.
...and we're going!
