We got up to the campus off of Airport and somewhere on the Eastside of Austin. It was the same campus where they had a wrestling tournament that we are pretty sure more than half the team got Covid. We got there in time so he could go and watch about half the boys' soccer team. He really didn't want us to join, he was meeting a friend down there, who turned out to be one of the boys that comes to the house, so we know this boy since they were in First grade, but I guess he wanted to be cool out there without his parents. There was nowhere for us to go, it was too far to go home, plus it looked like the game might not last that long. We stayed in the car, we were kind of up on a hill and could see the field where the kids were playing, but soccer is too messy for me to enjoy. They never line up; it just seems they move in a pack kicking the ball back and forth until someone gets lucky and scores.
Wife and I played on our phones with the window rolled down, it was a cool and nice day to be outside. After a bit, I took a little nap in the car, I have honestly gotten used to napping pretty much every day sometime in the afternoon. I don't even worry about sleeping a full night most days because I am always pretty sure I will find an hour or two during the day to nap. I napped for 20 minutes or so then Wife woke me that the boys were walking back to the car. We now had his friend with us, and Mijo asked us to take him to Burger, which is about ten miles away from where we were. The girls were playing over there, and the coach is one of his football coaches, so somehow or other he had told the coach he would go support the team.
We missed the start of the game, but both boys got off and went into the stadium, it was the smaller football field at the Burger site, where he played some of his JV and junior high football games, but it is still a nice field with big night lights. Again, we weren't really invited, so we headed off to Central Market, bought some breads and walked around. We came back and sat in the car for another half hour or so, it was fine, Wife bought some cake slices and we ate them in the car. The game was done by around 8:30pm. It was a little funny, Wife thought she was getting off early and relaxing at home, but she didn't really get home until closer to 9:00pm, which normally she would get home around 6:30pm.
I still threw the two of the pizzas in the oven while she showered, we ate and saw a couple of our half hour shows, but called it an early night, going upstairs by 11:30pm. I always like hearing Mijo's insight on things and he had thoughts on the game.
