So my daughter won her district and regional championships again, third year in a row.

Proud as hell of all the girls. My daughter this past month and a half played the best soccer of her life and got better every game, as did the rest of the team. When they started the season they were dysfunctional and not playing as a team at all. And the biggest thing was loss of speed on the outside. A serious issue. They came together and essentially won with a lock down defense, which my daughter plays...left back.
Well, district championship, the other team got up 2-0 early on a penalty kick and a free kick. Then the rolls reversed and my girls tied it up on a penalty kick and a free kick. It stayed like that for about 40 minutes. We got a corner kick and our midfielder placed the ball perfectly in front of the net, one of our strikers tried to head it in but the goalie blocked it and a defender cleared it...to the left side.
My daughter fielded the ball uncovered and thought about just shooting but saw the goalie edging her way so she dropped it back in front of the net where another striker was there to punch it in. A perfectly placed ball and a perfect header into the net with 29 seconds left on the clock. We won 3-2.

The next week for regional championship it was 0-0 until about 5 minutes left and my daughter dropped another perfect pass at the perfect time for the same girl to punch it into the back of the net, we won 1-0.

We lost in the state finals, but those Memphis school districts have open enrollment so all the best players go to the preferred choice schools with the better coaches and facilities. We were doomed. But the girls earned a three peat for district and regionals on a couple of perfect passes from my daughter.

So a long story to say Sunday she said she wanted to go to a hockey game, the Nashville Predators. My wife and I both said "Sure...when the Bruins come to town"
Pfft. Within seconds my daughter say's "That's Tuesday!"

So I went and saw my first Bruins game last night, which was a blast...except they lost to a previously winless Preds team 4-0.

Kinda annoyed right now. I recognize my wife has never been the sharpest tool in shed. If I'd equate her to a tool based on level of sharpness I'd say probably a broom. I'm cooking something in a pressure cooker and it's hissing away. I ask her to take it off the burner in an hour while I hit the bike. I cut the ride short. She moved it to a smaller burner, used the same number setting and couldn't care to notice it was no longer hissing.

But when I get pissed, I'm the asshole.

So pretty sure I mentioned I was back in NH something I noticed and I am damn sure vibing on. Seems more people in the North actively use indicators than they do down here in the South. I am all about indicators hell I'll let you in just let me know you need to get in.

Being married is an education in itself.

I read traffic very well, something I learned from my racing days.
If you signal, I will let you in. If not, you will never get in.....

I'd like to say driving would be a lot easier if everyone drove cordially, but since I've never actually seen it I really don't know. I'm not saying there aren't cordial, respectful drivers, just that assholes ALWAYS show up.

Agreed. I am very cordial my assumption tends to lean positive. Maybe there is an emergency, and If I let this guy in maybe traffic keeps flowing. I always, always let big rigs in, turn lights off and on several times to let them know to come on over. I know it pisses people off behind me but that cannot always stop and accelerate like I can. Hell, once they leave the lane, I engage the turbo and on my way.

Cola run to Walmart about fifteen minutes ago and it's Monday at 1:30 pm and I swear that the asshole cages were somehow all unlocked.
People always wonder why there are so many fatal accidents. Because people don't care about anyone or anything other than "ME".

I like where I live.
I would like to move to North Carolina to be closer to my kids but I remember the way they drive and I cannot afford a house like this in North Carolina anymore.....
