Losing Weekend

So, this past weekend was pretty much the same as the one before...except instead of winning the rugby, winning at poker and playing 1/2 a game of cricket, we lost the rugby, I didn't play poker and cricket was completely rained out!

The rugby was horrible. It seemed like the team forgot everything they had worked towards over the previous few tests. I am willing to consider this loss the result of a key injury, playing away from home and also playing the 3rd consecutive match...but I hope there is improvement for the South Africa leg of the tour, otherwise it will be a very long trip.

We all piled in the car on Saturday to drive to Westchester NY fpr the cricket. Just as we arrived, the area was hit by a massive downpour that caused the game to be abandoned. So, 30 minutes after arriving, we turned around and drove the 90 minutes back home. The rest of the day was spent running errands and catching up with friends, so not all was lost.

On Sunday, Mindy went shopping with a friend so I was with the kids. We spent most of the day at home although Naomi did get a chance to ride her new bike. I also finished chopping up the last of the wood from our tree, so we are quite prepared for the winter.

We are also 2/3 of the way through the 5 seasons of Babylon 5. A marathon session was had last night. We are both quite addicted, me for the 2nd time.
