No Way Out, and Anniversaries
... well, not that I was looking for one, honest! Looks like (for the time being at least) I am staying put in Bruce’s team, which seems to end the uncertainty for now. Several times this year I’ve had 2 or 3 managers at different times, and it’s only half way through March.
Long-term readers of the blog (and the website, going back further) will be aware that, in the last few years, Good Friday has been memorable for several different reasons. On Good Friday 2004 (9th April), I started full-time transition – admitting to the world what I’d known for a long time.
On Good Friday 2006 (14th April), or Geed Geed Friday as it had been dubbed, we’d gone for a team night out. One hour after I left, in the last few minutes of Good Friday, they crossed over Perth Road. The last 16 heading back to Dundee, driven by a very experienced driver (Mr G.), slowed down, but still managed to hit Harrison, who cracked his face off the windscreen. As I’ve said since, that night he reinvented what it meant to go out and get smashed on a team night out…
… Subsequently the bus (Strathtay Dart 307) was off the road till Monday awaiting a new windscreen from the contractor, and the driver in question still remembers the incident… needless to say, Harrison isn’t really allowed to forget it either (the team website was then endorsed with “We are planning another team night out, hopefully with no buses included this time”). He made a very quick recovery (more than a dozen stitches, but not kept in overnight).
So, what is happening this year on Good Friday? Not sure, but we have a team night out (Bruce’s team) for the following night… once again, hopefully with no buses involved!
For the rest of he evening I spent the time working out a trip out for tomorrow – subject to weather of course… seeing as how cold wind is due for most of the weekend, and snow into early next week!
