I was talking to Stefan on the phone last night - he said that he recently played a game of football which taught him two things.
One that all his male friends are mainly people he meets to work with / minister to in some capacity - and what joy there was in just playing a game with other guys. The guys in question had worked together as volunteer coaches for a youth football league in which their children (including for Stefan the budding footballer Ashish) were playing. Stefan said that over the space of an hour they became better friends than they had over the 4 months of helping out in the football league - coaching the same team!
Two - that the game revealed muscles he did not know he had any more. It took two weeks for him to get back to 'normal.'
I think I need to play some football....
