It was our last regular season game today, and we ended in a 3 - 3 draw with a really tough team. Though it was a really tough team with a replacement coach who kept fielding the wrong number of players. (I got to play the experienced old hand and help him out with the logistics a couple of times, which I found hilarious.)

Except for one of our problem kids who's barely shown up most of the season, everyone has shown a lot of improvement over the season and seem to be enjoying themselves.

We've got one last "playoff" game in a week and a half, though at this age that means you show up for one game and then get pizza and a trophy.

I'm actually looking forward to coaching again next year! Shocking. And I'm trying to get the Sweetie to sign up as my official assistant coach, though he's holding back. Partly because everyone already usually assumes he's the head coach--which is hilarious as he's the least sporty guy on the planet and knows virtually nothing about footie--and he figures that would only get worse if he had an official coach shirt.

And now I'm going to finish packing up. Tomorrow we leave for Chicago and WorldCon!

ETA: Just checked, and I'm the very last person listed in the Chicon membership list. Let's hear it for that Z V combination!
