19 Sep 05 Weekend Update

We had an interesting weekend of activities and of course the never ending Sunday prep. The problem with the weekend (for me) is that Sunday is always looming ahead in the distance. My whole weekend is spent with that thought in mind. Sunday’s approaching like a fast moving locomotive . . . Am I ready?

Madison had a softball game and man o man was the umpire lousy. I’m not just being one of those non-objective parents when I say the umpire stunk. It looked like it was his first time to call a game and Madison didn’t get near the calls (while pitching) she thought she should get. I’m fully qualified to make this judgment of the umpires skills (or lack of) based on my tremendous experience and the fact that I was the umpire.

Reese had a soccer game and man o man was the referee lousy! Not only that, he was really out-of-shape. Though it wasn’t his first time to referee a soccer match he certainly had not run like that in a long time. I’m still sore.

We went bowling with some friends Saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed this slice of Americana at it’s best. Someone over on the league side of the alley bowled a perfect game. That side erupted in cheers. Our kids each bowled a perfect game knocking down a total of 48 pins. We (Beth and I) silently erupted in cheers (on the inside) that the score was the same.
