What do you get when you add Friday Night Lights with Umbrellas and Loyal Fans? Royal Football!
Tonight we hosted Thorp on our home turf. I was subbing in for a gentleman who wasn't able to sell admission tickets. I was prepared with a warm sweatshirt and rain coat and umbrella. Thankfully someone brought in one of those little pop-up canvas tent things so as least I could keep myself, the rosters and the money dry!
My view was what you see above. Lots of fans with umbrellas and a soggily blurry view of the field. I could hear the announcer, though, and he was busy!
Just like last week, we rolled over the competition. We're talking final score: Assumption 56, Thorp 0. (That's us scoring 105 points in 2 games and our opponents scoring none!) A long ride home for the Thorpedoes (or whatever their nickname is).
I admit I did not stay for the whole game. After standing 2 hours, when my shift was done and we no longer needed to sell tickets, I grabbed my umbrella and headed home. At that point, there would have been no dry place to sit AND it wasn't a close game where I needed to cheer extra loud for a win.
Plus, I had some freelance work to do. I already know tomorrow will be booked up with golf in the DRY, SUNNY weather (attention, Mother Nature) so I wanted to make some headway tonight. Took a break after the game was done to hang out with some of the Royal parents. Now it is off to bed before midnight so we get plenty of rest for a fun-filled, golf-filled day tomorrow.
Hope Mother Nature cooperates!!
