Spanked.
Tonight was supposed to be the first game of our outdoor season, but because we apparently got our allotted 2 days of sunshine between periods of heavy rain, the game was moved indoors to save us from tearing up the grass and turning things into a rugby-esque mess. A-TEAM opened the outdoor season against the…

An outdoor season ended.
Tonight was A-TEAM’s last game outdoors until next spring. It seems odd that we should bring the season to a close already, but on the other hand, the timing feels right.

Three-day adventure
Friday, I took the day off, mostly because I haven’t had a day off in a while. I had plans to revisit a cherished college tradition: pizza, Diet Coke, and Halo 2. For the most part, it was a successful revisiting; I rested, I played video games, I drank a ton of Diet Coke, and…
