I have to love good hearted parents who, after paying to play, complain that too few games are scheduled. I know they mean well, but for those of us who have multiple children playing sports the response can be overwhelming.
Take last night, for instance. My younger son played back-to-back flag football games. He started at 6:00pm and didn't finish until after 8:00pm. Meanwhile, my older boy also played. His game didn't even start until 8:00pm. That's three football games in one evening. We got home near 10:00 pm. It was a long, cold evening.
Did I mention it was cold? the temperature hovered around freezing all evening. Everyone who knew how bundled up. Typically however, we had some tough guys claiming that the cold didn't bother them through chattering teeth. It was cold.
Tonight is round two of the double triple header. Starting at 6:00pm, we'll do it all over again. Temperatures tonight are supposed to be warmer! ...by about 2 degrees. Fun, fun, fun!
Now don't get me wrong, I am all for sports and cold weather. Its the three games a night twice a week that bothers me. I realize people are prone to complain. I don't think it really matters about what. However, we should all take a moment and think before we just blurt out something, especially something that comes with a demand. You might just get what you asked for and it won't be what you really wanted...
For scores and schedules, Nathan is on the Vikings (Team Bruderer) and Pierce is on the Knights (Team Hernandez) I anticipate that the scores will be posted sometime.
