This and that
It's gotten cold here the last few days. FREEZING cold, like in the 60's! I just can't handle even marginally chilly weather any more; I guess I've been in Florida too long now. But it has been nice to open up the windows and air out the house.
I think that Tuesday has become my favorite weekday. I usually don’t have very many meetings at work and it’s the one day of the week when I normally don’t have to be anywhere in the evening. Although today, the crushing weight of project issues at work is dampening my enthusiasm for the day.
Owen’s football team is still winless, although they’re playing fairly well. On Saturday, we took a 0-0 tie into the last minute and the other team broke free for a long run (helped by some blatant holding that was missed by the officials) to score the only TD of the game. One of the players’ mom lit into the coaches before the game, telling us (in detail) how we “suck” as coaches. Her primary complaint was that her son doesn’t play enough. Like no coach has ever heard that complaint before! At least she was finally coming to us with her complaints in person. This particular woman (a horrible person) has spent the better part of two seasons now complaining about the coaching behind our backs (which of course is duly reported to us by our wives who usually have to listen to it). So I guess that’s an improvement of sorts. But the team is getting better each week and I don’t think we’ll go winless for the entire season.
