One Last Bit of Football Goodness

First, let me apologize for the randomness of my posts.
Football, football, something serious, then football again.
Any of you who started reading my blog way back when it began
will know you were duly warned that this was a blog of MUSINGS.
Random musings of whatever is rambling around my brain...
which could be just about anything.
But in the fall, you can bet one of the main things will be
FOOTBALL.
So bear with me for just a little while longer...

Our LC football boys have had a roller coaster regular season,
ending with two lopsided losses.
I'm not sure if even the boys themselves were excited about playing a postseason game.
But play they did.

Traveling to Kings to play on enemy turf,
in super-soggy conditions,
our boys pulled out a wonderful win.
Four second quarter TD's.
Five interceptions by the LC D.
No lost fumbles or interceptions by the offense
(a minor miracle, considering the conditions).
They came, fought and conquered. Yeah boys!

And I missed the whole doggone thing.
My son - my OWN kid -
as opposed to my adopted "football kids",
had a band concert.
A very short band concert.
Three songs to be exact.
(The eighth grade band added another three.)
35 minutes total.

Ah, if only it were possible to be in two places at once!
When is that Star Trek teleporter gizmo going into production?

The concert was neat. Very enjoyable.
I was so proud to see my boy up there doing his thing.
But I did miss being in Seattle for that glorious game.

So the LC boys lived to play another day.
The next game is against a highly-regarded and storied Orting program.
On Tuesday, in Sumner (which is practically in Orting's backyard)
our boys will have one ginormous football mountain to climb.
Barring some unforseen catastrophe, I'll be there.
And barring some unbelievable miracle, it will be the end of football season.
Win or lose, it will be one last bit of football goodness for 2008.

Go team!!!
