2281. Reflections on a Saturday Night

Apparently I am a stress eater. This would explain why I’ve gone very very far over my daily intake. My buddy who went through this process (to the tune of 10.9% body fat) says a cheat day is a needed step. Well, I’ve been cheating like a maniac today, because of a game gone horribly wrong and three boys acting out for no reason in particular.

Today was the AYSL Spring championship and our undefeated 8u squad got knocked down a peg with a 28-18 loss to ThurmU. Respect to ThurmU but we lost based on an inability to play ‘next man up’. One of our captains and this season’s MVP severely sprained his ankle on the first drive. He is also one of our linebackers, part of a very good and very thin corps that wasn’t able to make up the loss entirely. Our O-line also struggled and a string of bad snaps sealed the loss.

Afterwards we went to the Civil War movie and my boys did in fact act a fool. From snatching things out of my hand to yanking each other out of chairs to general boisterousness, the gang was in rare form. It did not mess up my viewing of the movie but the previews were affected to the point where I almost said screw it and took them home.

Now fatigue takes me and I take my leave until the morrow.
