by Abigail complimented this website Friday evening as we were stuffing pizza in our faces. Guess that means she’s reading it which means I’ll have to watch what I say. After pizza we went to her last volleyball game and, though the other team won, Abigail’s team was competitive with them and the other team was better than most. They had a girl that may have been taller than me and they were using her at the net. They had been coached to get the ball up so she could slam it. Well, she didn’t really slam it but she could reach the top of the net so she could easily direct the ball down at an angle that was hard to defend. I got all worked up and wanted to tell Abigail’s team to stop lobbing the ball in the front court of their opponent where they could easily execute their little strategy. I even went so far as to tell Abgail when she was serving to put it in the backcourt. The season is over and I’m not sorry. As much as I enjoy watching the Abster play, I get a little frustrated at what I consider to be the nonsense that goes on. Basketball is next and no one will have the chance to act out their silly little girly routines because they’ll have to get back on defense. So sayeth the curmudgeon.
All this nice weather we’ve been having has been pleasant but it has made us soft and effete. We’re probably going to pay a price when the winter sets in, which may be sooner rather than later.
We don’t want Fedex or UPS delivery trucks driving in to 2005 so we have the neighbors’ orders delivered to 1911. Since both households mostly their Christmas presents online, we’ve really been getting a lot of deliveries this past week and that will probably continue at least through next week. I think most if not all of the stuff I ordered has been delivered. I need to get a few Christmas cards, the ones that say Merry Christmas, if I can find any. If that offends anyone I sent them to, well, just let me know and I’ll be glad to take them off my Christmas card list.
