Soccer, WorldCon, and Writing

We played a really tough team tonight, and lost. But at least it was only 0 - 3 when it could have been a serious blow out. We could barely get it away from our net the entire game. One of our best defensive players was complaining that "we just keep playing defense!" But I have so say, our defense mostly held, so go us. Also, Ros got to be in goal again and use her goalie gloves. soundofthesurf, shall get a pic of her in the gloves soon!

In other news, a week tomorrow we'll be leaving for Chicago where I'll be attending WorldCon, and the Sweetie and Ros will be playing in Chicagoland. I also got Ros her very first con membership. (She's young enough to qualify for the free kid-in-tow membership, and they've got some great kids programs, including a "braid your hair like Princess Leia" panel that I'm betting Ros will love.) So yay all round.

Now, If I can just hammer out the rest of my Pros BB story, I'll be happy. Broke 24K words today, which I'm hoping leaves about 6K to go. Hoping, but not sure, since I've only got a rather vague outline of the final chunk of the story rather than my usual scene breakdown. Fingers crossed...
