3 Day Weekend

Good evening all. Voice is completely hoarse after a rough Torrent game today, but we'll get back to that later. The week was pretty good.  Mia got to hang out with old buddies Hannah and Gracie on Wednesday. Mia had a blast and it's always nice catching up with their Mom. Friday through Sunday, I took off. Friday, Mia and I went to the library and she checked out as many Eric Carle books she could. Her absolute favorite author.

Later, I went to the Torrent vs Stars match. I felt confident going into the match, then I found out 3 major players were suspended. Not great. We drew 0-0. Great crowd, we hyped the crowd as best we could. Going into Sunday's match, the win would have been solid. They won Tuesday, drew Friday and today, we lost 2-1. We got an early goal against the dreaded DCFC before giving up a PK to draw 1-1 before HT. The Northern Guard supporters invaded Tosa and chanted all match. They're an impressive supporters group, despite their hate for our city, our team and our state. We can get to their level one day, but it always takes time and patience. 2nd half, we started strong, but ended up having a slip up on the backbone leaving a 1v1 for DCFC to chip one over our always hard-working keeper.
DAMN. If we could have beat these jerks, we could have sent them home crying and destroyed their winning streak. As for now, we're tied for 4th, with not a lot of matches left to play. Next game, my older bro is coming in to watch. We should be able to win this and I hope we can hold our place. That's the goal.

Saturday, we celebrated my wonderful wife Jill's birthday early with a rooftop dinner at People's Park in Waukesha. My parents and Jill's family attended. Despite the rain that ended our rooftop dining experience, we had a great time. Jill loved all of her gifts and that everyone could come. Wednesday is her actual birthday so Mia and I will take her out for frozen yogurt most likely. Today, Mia had a zoo class while I was at the match. She had a lot of fun with Jill making a diorama about polar bears. Wednesday, she has an all-day class and is really looking forward to it. Her good friend Cecilia returns to Wisconsin today, so she's looking forward to hanging out with her again. Hopefully we can set something up this week.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
