One more alumni game is over.
Notch another win for the good guys. We won 2-1 in a game that the team requested be shortened (though i can't think of a good reason why).
The game didn't play as close as the score shows. They had only two decent chances and we had 10 or so, but we are old, so we get more tries apparently.
My assumption would be that the team is going to be in for a long season, but I hope they can find a way to prove me wrong.

Further Removed
As the years pass, my outlook on playing in the North Central University alumni game changes dramatically. It has gone from hoping I lose, to hoping its competitive, but now that i haven't had any contact with the team this year, I hope we (the alumni) blow the current team out of the water.
There will be no remorse if we win and win big. I likely will be disappointed if we lose, even though we shouldn't have a chance to win. We are only getting older and more out of shape, and they should have a huge advantage over us in that department, along with the fact that we have to sub our entire line-up pretty consistently means that they should be able to wax the floor with us.
Fortunately the last couple of years that has not happened. In fact, we have been beating them in close games. Tomorrow, I hope it isn't close.

Good Idea, Bad Idea
I had a good idea today. I thought I'd go for a run (good idea when you are training for a marathon). I decided on 6 miles.
Bad idea... I thought I'd go for a run (bad idea when you are still recovering from a sickness). My legs were fine with 6 miles. My congestion was fine with 6 steps. My stomach was fine with 3 miles, where it then induced my vomiting reflex. My head was fine with 5 miles where it then gave me a pounding headache.
The 6 miles ended up being not so fun today, but the shower afterwards sure did feel good.

Spider-Boy
Here is what you need to know about spider boy. Spider boy is not a super hero. Spider boy has no powers. Spider boy, isn't even a single person. Spider boy is a disease and I've encountered one of its victims.
A couple people I know (one witnessed today) fall victim to spider boy syndrome. Every time they see a spider, they revert from their manliness to a scared little boy. They won't go near it, they won't try to kill it, they won't even swing a 5 foot broom at it. They can be 5 feet away from something that is like 1 thousandth their size and fear for their life.
As I documented the case this afternoon, I told my friend I would share this phenomenon with the world, in which he replied "and then I'll tell everyone how it almost ate my entire face off."
He was never within a 5 foot span of it, but convinced that it almost ate his face off.
Sorry for those of you who suffer from spider boy syndrome. At least it isn't contagious.

Nerd Sleepover
The best friend spent the night tonight.
Jenny's laptop got returned to us today.
After she went to bed, the two of us sat on the same couch, each with a laptop, proposing fantasy football trades to each other electronically, while viewing them on separate computers and occasionally talking about them in person.
These are the things guys do during sleepovers just before the football season.
