New Year’s Eve
Posted on December 31, 2009 by maryeggers

“it’s been a good decade for you…” Said the reporter the other night, I was doing an interview for the local paper about our yoga for Athletes program…. (it will be the back page story of the Sports section this Sunday, the “Get Out” column)….. “So what’s next in the next decade?” I thought about [...]

It goes without saying that safety in our pursuits is something we should never ignore, or take lightly. We participate in a sport that comes with risk.

“Seems like you guys have a lot of fun at your house….” my 11 year old nephew said to me at the end of the evening last night. I nodded and told him he was welcome to come experience life at the Eggers any time he wanted. He lives in Tennessee, so while that likely will never happen, [...]

the best christmas ever
Posted on December 24, 2009 by maryeggers
It figures. The one kid who believes more than anyone on earth just had to come down with gastro. I had it 2 weeks ago, Curt 2 days after me and we thought the boy of steel would escape it. Sunday night I took care of six children, all who were vomiting. And Luc probably [...]

epiphany
Posted on December 23, 2009 by maryeggers
The other night I had a big realization as I spoke with the Wizard. Everything I have ever achieved in this sport has come from two things: hard work and luck.
