finally made it in to the new cool dude club: rtc. cmccabe
was very patient in handling my pubkey issue. for the sake 
of posterity, rtc likes 4096 bit rsa keys.

rugby practice went well. love watching the new guys learn
new skills. they are all doing well. i'm excited at the
prospect of playing any match against any team. i wouldn't
say that i'm ready, or that our team is ready, but i just
can't wait for an opportunity to play.

after praccy we went to the bar literally on the other side
of the practice field. i had a "snack and a d.e.w" which 
consisted of an ice cold tallboy called "cold snack" and a
shot of tullamore d.e.w. the pair cost six dollars usd,
which if you know anything about american bars, that's a 
phenomenal price. the "cold snack" was so refreshing after
an intense practice - two laps around the entire field,
passing & kicking drills, "up-downs", ruck drills... you get
the picture.

i didn't stay long, just enough to casually drink my rewards
and get a bit involved with the conversation my mates were
having about practice. i headed back home and ate a nice big
bowl of kielbasa and mac 'n' cheese while watching jeopardy
and golden girls with my wife.
