Time for a Monsoon

It was an eerie day. I was supposed to help coach a practice from 2-5, then play a soccer game from 6-8. The weather was not co-operating when I woke up, but I headed out at 1:40 to find myself driving out of the rain. I showed up to a field that was breezy, but dry.

We practiced, and finished a little early, when it began raining at 4:45. Luckily, I was driving north for the game, and it looked clearer that way. I made it to the fields, and they were wet, but the sky was not raining on us. We started the game. Then the rain started. Then, either hail, or large drops, all I know is it hurt if I looked a certain way. After about 8 minutes of play, we called the game.

It was amazing while walking to the car, to know that I was stepping in an inch of water across the entire field and parking lot. It was raining almost sideways.

By the time I got home, there was no rain, and I was under a blue sky.

Mother nature just didn't want us to get our playoff game in today. I don't know what that means for the season, as the next round is supposed to be on Saturday, and we haven't heard when we are making this game up yet.

Oh well, playing in the monsoon was fun, and gave me a good reason to wash my uniform.
