Physical Education Tips of the Week #37
March 20, 2008

Dick Moss, Editor


1. Editor's Note

It has been an ugly winter - there have been several bouts of rain (which is highly unusual in Northern Ontario) followed by cold and ice. So it hasn't been good for winter sports and every time it rained, it made me think that Spring was on the way...even though it wasn't. That's discouraging!

So, I was ready to get outa town and last week, my wife and I escaped to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for her March break. It was a great getaway and it was wonderful to once again wear shorts and not have to sit in front of a fireplace to get warm.

But now, I'm ready to buckle down and research like a crazy-man. So get ready! There will lots of new content coming your way on the PE Update website!!
