football in the rain

so i'm on my way home after i find a side view mirror from new castle auto parts - but i'm on my way home to willingly sit in the rain outside in the cold. . . why you may ask. . . well. . . it's because my high school football team will be traveling 15 from my parent's house to the home of the bellwood blue devils to try and continue their quest for a state championship run!!! a last minute fill in at krispy kreme is allowing me this chance to bask in school spirit -- thanks kendra!

but as i looked at the new team photo and action pics. from the school's website, i realized several of those jr. and sr.'s i baby sat when i was a junior and senior -- man do i feel old! take for example, mike hommer -- it's hard to believe that that little fireball of a redhead is now almost 6ft and a hardnose linebacker. i still think of him as little mickey who i convienced if he continued to pick his nose his bird was going to fall off - and my pastor's wife - which was his grandmother - thought that was the funniest thing ever! oh those were the days.

and little kevin glass -- he was such a quite kid - but now to think he's 335 pounds of defensive lineman - stink -- who would have thought?!

but i'm going to enjoy this night - me, my mom, my friends terri and tammy and fond memories of my high school days.

here's pic. for your viewing pleasure - ladies and gentlemen. . . here are our glendale vikings!
