At long last, I had the chance to watch the movie. And several hours after coming out of it, I’m on a high. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sure, most of those guys arrogant, but what do you expect from jocks? What made it good, for me, was that it wasn’t just about quad rugby, it talked about many things, tried to portray wheelers in a different light.

I joined a mailing list for those who "Need to be paralysed". I didn’t stay long because, as usual, the discussion went nowhere fast. I would like a feeling of friendship and helping one another, rather than that of argument that is so often found on such lists. But that’s another story. I discovered Sophie had also joined the list. She told me a few days ago that someone from that list had offered to help her get her wish.

Sophie told me that she was really interested to read the rediscovered items I recently put up on the site. She said that part of what interested her was that those thoughts often had to do with the actual wheeling around. She’s at a stage where she doesn’t have her own chair, and wants to learn more about wheeling. And lately, my thoughts haven’t revolved around my actual wheeling so much as my thoughts about "it all".
