I went out to Claremont this afternoon to see my niece Samantha play soccer. Her dad Cary coaches her U-14 team, and today was the first playoff game.
I had refereed a BU-14 game at Live Oak Park at 9:00 - also a playoff game. Vinnie Hughes, who broke his collarbone a few weeks back, couldn't play, and his team lost 4-1. I got some good exercise, and only the winning coach complained, so it was a good morning.
Jeremy and Sarah went out to the Getty Museum for one of his school projects, and I let them borrow my car, so I rode my motorcycle out to see Sam play.
Sam played well, finishing up as keeper in the fourth quarter, but her team lost 4-1. (The center referee made a mistake on the opponent's third goal which seemed to take the wind out Sam's team.) Sam's junior high pastor from church came too, and we had some nice chats. Jake was silly, as usual, but John kept him in check.
Justin went to Peter's for the night - he got a ride from Spencer. Jason took his car in for an oil change and some minor fixit checks, but they didn't get his car done in time, so they sprang for a rental. Jeremy had a $63 night last night, which is apparently amazing for a non-special night.
