Greetings Citizens. It has come down to this in High School football. That was my Friday game with the result going the way of the victims. You can read the game summary here. It is interesting to note that the head coach called a time-out with a few minutes remaining to express his apologies for the whole sordid affair. He didn't need to (everyone knew the coaches weren't responsible) but I think he felt he needed to assure everyone that his players and program wouldn't stoop to such a low thing.

I got knocked on my ass in the game, too. I didn't even see it coming. One second I'm watching the play, the next second I'm looking straight up into the pouring rain. I got hurt a little but that won't keep me from working today's play-off games with the little kids. I'll just be a little bit slower than I usually am (which is pretty damned slow).

At school, all of my students appear to be doing quite well. I'm very happy.

Tomorrow I'm grading & mixing chemistry. Maybe I'll get the chance to make a print, or two also.
