Another brief one.

Just want to show you some shots from the game Friday.



Academy played Rogers. It was a fun game to watch, with lots of action.



The weather was cool and still, and there was a huge full moon out. Tried to get a shot of that, and this is what I got.



Aaah, what the hell. I'll try again some time. Need a tripod for that one.



Dad loved the new hat, as many of you predicted. Looks good on him. We bundled him up in a heavy wool coat and he stuck it out till just after half time. I'd reach over and rub his back now and then and he'd smile and thank me for warmin' him up a bit. I kept tellin' him that we could leave any time he wanted to , and eventually he decided it was warmer at home. Academy eventually won the game in overtime by one point. Bet it was cool.

At one point I noticed that a new little cheerleader had joined the squad. I got a series of pictures as she stood, fearlessly, on the hands of the varsity girls. Cute as hell.









In the end she dropped down into the arms of the others with a huge grin on her face. One of these days I'll be watching her do this for another little girl. By then I'll be able to watch a full game. Maybe I'll stop comin' to Academy then, and switch to Florence. Too many memories here. Time rolls on.
