Current Events

Swine flu persists in the news. Here in Atlanta, Emory students with the virus are being isolated. According to the university, the isolation is voluntary. Speaking of isolation because of flu virus, just got saw on Jen's blog that she's stuck in her room cause of the flu. Jeez!

In other news, Chain Lightning won the Chesapeake Open in Poolesville, Maryland, for the second year in a row. Check out Chain's home page for a short summary - and to buy some team merchandise. Also, there are a couple dozen videos of Chain from the weekend (dubbed Chesterpeake in honor of our biggest fan). Visit MattandKat's youtube page for those videos and to catch a glimpse of Chesterpeake. One of my personal highlights from play this weekend was captured in this shot (smaller version below). The rest of the gallery is really good, too.

Heads up: in only four and a half weeks, Chain will host Regionals for the first time in a long time (maybe the first time this millenium). So we need lots of local folks - decked out in Chain gear - cheering for us at the Georgia Soccer Park. The top teams from that tournament qualify for Nationals in Sarasota, which is in exactly eight weeks.

Happy Labor Day everyone. Good luck to Ozone in Santa Cruz this weekend! And get better for all those swine flu sufferers...
