IS JEREMY GOING TO HIT THE BALL OR EAT IT? I guess it depends on which direction it is traveling. We did play some tennis during our Spring retreat at the Bangladesh Tea Board Resort in SriMongol, Moulovibazar, Bangladesh.
PLAYER LOSES THE ADVANTAGE OF A TACKLE. Usually it works better on your feet than your hands.
ONE OF OUR PLAYERS OBVIOUSLY THINKS HE WAS FOULED during this play. The referee thought otherwise.
ONE OF OUR TEAM’S SHOTS ON GOAL that wasn’t successful as we lost the friendly match 1-4 yesterday afternoon.
INGRID MILLER AND I STANDING with the photo of mine that accepted to be a part of the TTL “Bangladesh in Frames III” exhibit at Drik Gallery, in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 25-29. Ingrid is a friend and physio therapist who met me at the gallery to show me how to properly get up on a rickshaw and down. She was expecting me to arrive on a CNG, so was surprised to see me on a rickshaw before she taught me how. I did confess that I had already gotten up on a rickshaw, went to the vegetable market to buy veggies, and came home and got off the rickshaw. We tried several methods but she admitted that the way I was doing was probably the best way. I suspect in physiotherapy schools they don’t teach techniques on how to get up on a rickshaw unless the school would be CRP in Savar, Bangladesh!! Actually it was my wife’s good idea on how to get into a microbus (van), which she gave me yesterday on our trip to the India border. Ingrid also helped assist and give me ideas as I negotiated the steps to the different galleries at Drik. Notice the shirt which I received as a gift because one of my photos was accepted!
HI EVERYONE! I GUESS GOD THOUGHT I NEEDED A BREAK! LOL No pun intended! I actually broke my ankle in two places while playing football. But I did keep the fellow from scoring. 🙂 I came home and had some pain walking but kind of tried to ignore it. I talked to Austin in Ohio, because I saw on facebook that Pruitt had broken the forearm bones just behind his wrist. I went to the market with a rickshaw but never got off. Later I went to a grocery store and did some walking and up some steps. Back up the street 50 yards to get a rickshaw. I then in the afternoon went with Alice to our friends apartment to help Charles Fox put four windows back in place, as well as put 4 glass sliding doors back in place. I had to go up 4 flights of stairs to get to the apartment, while carrying a cordless drill in it’s case with another battery pac! Charles on the way home said he thinks he will take me to the ER to get my foot checked out. Here I find out my ankle was broken. Within 1.5 hours I was out of the hospital with my leg in a cast, crutches, and on the way home in a CNG. So six weeks with crutches and no football!:-( Here I am on the couch with my feet elevated. Charles and family brought me my meds, candy, balloons, flowers and some good cheer! 
MY FRIEND HALIM STANDING IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE MANY STRUCTURES GREETING visitors entering Dhaka for the ICC World Cup Cricket 2011. It has parts of each of the 14 participating countries represented on a cricket bat. Today Bangladesh is playing India. For both teams this is almost as important as the finals. In a previous World Cup Bangladesh upset India and India is hoping for paybacks today.
SOMEWHAT OF A ‘WILD GOOSE CHASE!” Last evening my friend called and wondered if me and my camera could come to his place at 8:15 to be ready for departure at 8:30 pm to go with him and two friends of his to the airport. We didn’t get left in the CNG until 9 pm. I thought maybe he was meeting a friend at the airport, but soon realized it was to look at and take photos of the many lights in the city as it celebrates the ICC World Cup Cricket 2011. It reminded me of driving around the countryside during the Christmas and enjoying the lights. We arrived at the airport after at least an hour of travelling (waited for a train at two different locations). Halim had seen an ad for the World Cup on TV that showed the airport with a magnicent light display, but obviously it was only to greet the teams and not there for the duration of the event! He was disappointed. We did stop at several places to take photos.
These are some of the lights that were along Airport Road.
