I'll take Pneumonia for $60 Alex

[chickenfeet2003]

It's a cold wet day in Toronto. I was up at the University of Toronto this afternoon reffing an intra-mural game. There were supposed to be three, short (2 x 25 min) games at 1130, 1230 and 1330. I was scheduled to do the the second half of the second game and the third game. I biked up to UoT and showed up at around 1220 to find that everything was behind schedule and the second game probably wasn't going to happen anyway. By this point the persistent drizzle of the morning had turned into steady, cold rain. I finally got the third game underway on time as the second game had, indeed, been cancelled. Also by now the field was a swamp and I was near hypothermic. My fifty minute game, shortened to forty-five because it was so one-sided, finished at 90-0. By then, at least, the rain had stopped but my warm gear was soaked and I was almost as muddy as the players. I biked home in the cold wind but at least it wasn't raining. Am now demuddifying everything including my whistle. Putting a muddy whistle in one's mouth is really vile.
