Not that many points

and Senior’s Day.

It was the last home game of the season. Following their usual pattern, the women’s basketball team did well in the first quarter, not great in the second and third, then got it together in the last quarter. Once again, however, it was not together enough to make up those last few points they were down.

Traditionally, and I don’t know how it is handled at other schools. I had neither the money nor time to attend games at any university I attended. But here, the final home game of the season is preceded and followed by a recognition of the graduating members of the team. Obviously. there was no season last year. An additional year of eligibility across the board was granted to the players. The end result is that the team included several members who were “graduated” but playing. Or one can take the “gr” designation to mean graduate school. It matters not.

We didn’t stay the extra time. I was tired and there is still cleanup to be done downstairs.

 

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
