It's funny how much things can change in just a couple of hours. Yesterday morning, I was up at 5am to go for a run. Beautiful, warm morning...worked up a pretty good sweat for just 5 miles. By mid-morning at work, the temperature had dropped 20 degrees and we were in the 40's. It was nice to have a relaxing run in shorts and a tee-shirt (probably my last for this year).
Last night was the semi-final playoff in football for Platte County. The Pirates only lost one game all season and were going head-to-head with the Grain Valley Eagles. The Eagles are a very big team and have two very speedy running backs. The game went back and forth all night until the final seconds of the game. The score was 21 to 21 and the Pirates had the ball with about 20 seconds left when the QB tried a pass that was tipped and the Eagles recovered and got the ball on their 15 yard line. With four seconds left, they kicked a field goal and that was the end of a very good game. Next year, the Pirates move up in their division and begin playing 4A teams - this will be a real test; we expect them to have a few more losses.
Shallen played in the marching band last night and they gave their final performance. It's onto swimming now for her.
Stephan is working quite a bit to put a new engine in his car; against my wishes, he chose to quit wrestling in favor of work to get his car fixed quicker. I was really looking forward to seeing him wrestle for Oak Grove this year.
A fun thing happened at the game last night...I ran into an old friend from High School, Kerry McCarter, she was their with her husband and two small boys. She sent me a big package last year when I was in Kuwait...it was very nice to see her and meet her husband.
