well, another week begins. and with the letdown that is a super bowl loss. yesterday was a beautiful day - 70 degrees and sunny; which was much better than saturday.
to start: afternoon friday happy hour was quite fun with new stranger friends. started with afternoon scotch at opal divines and continued to $3 geniuses at mother egans. essentially an irish bar afternoon. nice late bike ride in the cold home and then a brief nap before awakening at 6:30 to make my way north for an 8 am soccer match. it went ok; should have had at least one goal - more likely two. there's really no reason not to score when you get the ball 8 yards out. but the game was quite competitive; i ended up spraining my shoulder on a challenge right near the half (and drew a penalty) which caused me to sit out the rest of the match and quite a bit of pain throughout the day. the match went back and forth with us loosing 3-2 in the end. the rest of saturday was fairly uneventful - grimacing when moving; taking ibuprofen; fun with icy-hot; and later making of appetizers for sunday.
and besides the game yesterday it was a fun time - got to grill; get a brief ride on some new trails in; eat way too much good food; and enjoy the company of friends. and because of how the game turned out it was nice to watch it with people who are not die-hard fans of either team. had chicago won i would have likely lamented the fact that i was not among the high energy and cheering that comes with such a group; but it turned out well i suppose.
should have taken pictures; others did - so perhaps one day they'll make their way back and be posted.
