Outdoor Soccer
I thought I wasn’t going to be playing Saturday outdoor soccer this spring, because I couldn’t get a hold of the guy that organized it in the fall. Finally someone called me last Tuesday. It turns out the guy is back in Morocco for a while.
We had our first game yesterday. We one 2-1! In the first half the ref award a penalty shot from a deflection of my hand as it was at my side. There was no way it should have been a PK. But, in the second half it was 2-1 already and I was chasing down a long ball towards the goal when a guy from the other team hit me with his should from behind because I got in between him and the ball. I then clearly handled the ball. It should have at least been called as a hand ball, and maybe another PK. But the ref didn’t see it. 🙂 So, it was a payback for the one in the first half. The other player was really mad, but what are you going to do? I certainly wasn’t going to tell the ref it was a handball!
Next week we play Ephrata! I would love to win that game…
Yesterday (Ode To Backups)
Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
There’s not half the files there used to be,
And there’s a milestone
hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.
I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.
Now all my data’s gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.
Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.
