Disney Day Four, and the Start of Footie Season

It's taken me ages to get around to posting the final day of our Disney trip. But I have a brief moment, so here's how the last day went.

( The last of Disney this way )

One of the reasons I haven't had time to post until now is that footie season has started up again. Last Wednesday I had to pick up the uniforms for our team, organize the shirts, shorts and socks for all the kids and blow up soccer balls. Thursday I got to stand in a parking lot in the rain and hand out the uniforms to kids and parents. And today was the first game of the season.

We seem to have a good team again this year. (I'm amazed that we didn't get any of the kids from any of our past teams. Though we now know a number of kids on other teams.) The kids all seem pretty nice, including the twins who are pretty much the best players in the league. Though unlike two years ago when they could run circles around all the other players, there are now a number of players who can keep up with them.

With the twins help, we managed to win our first game, 5 - 2. (The better of the twins scored a hat trick.) And after a wet few minutes at the start, it didn't rain for the rest of the evening, so it was all good!

Wow! And Some Rambling Musings

Will you look at that. It's not even one in the morning and I'm all packed up for MediaWest. I may actually get a good night's sleep and on the road early.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone (st_crispins! sc_fossil! silver_cyanne? anyone else?) at the con this year, but my squee is somewhat subdued this year. I don't know if it's just that I've finally had it with the organizational stupidities and downright vindictiveness of the MW con comm, or the fact I will be the sole representative of the current fandom of my heart (Take That, in case you had any doubt), or if I'm beginning to gafiate a bit from fandom, or what.

I doubt I'm ready to pull away from fandom entirely--it's too much a part of my identity--and I'm sure I'll have a ball once I'm in Lansing. And though I'm feeling that this may be my swansong at MW, there's BistoCon to look forward to, and vague plans afoot to attend Escapade next year.

Okay, that's enough introspection for one evening.

I'll see some of you soon at MW, and the rest online!
