Weekend Notes
Fall Break A pretty boring break for us, as we have trips ahead of us. M went up to Ball State to hang out with a friend of hers. Apparently they went to a few parties Friday night, but I tried not to hear too much about that. Normally we get our flu shots over fall break but I couldn’t…
Weekend Notes
FNL For the ninth-straight year Cathedral ended their regular season schedule against Center Grove. They are almost always great games, although CG had a 6–2 advantage coming into this year’s game. Two years ago the game came down to Cathedral being unable to get less than a yard on fourth down. This year the game also came down to one…
Weekend Notes
A quick run through a busy weekend. FNL It was Cathedral’s homecoming week. They pounded their Jesuit brothers pretty easily, winning 42–21 with two of those scores against coming late in the game. I went for the first half but it was chilly, C’s back was bothering her (she’s been seeing a chiropractor), so we left after we watched one…
Kid Hoops Notes
A quick kid hoops update, as L’s St P’s team has hit their (stupid) fall break-break. First, a refresher about the dumbness of the CYO girls basketball schedule. Girls hoops has always been a fall CYO sport, so that the gyms are cleared out for boys basketball and boys/girls volleyball in the winter. Never mind that girls volleyball should be…
Weekend Notes
A belated rundown of this past weekend. FNL Cathedral finally had their first home game of the year. Since they only have one after this, and it has already been tagged as homecoming, Friday became senior night. Which was a little weird. I stayed home and listened to an easy 37–6 win over Cincinnati LaSalle. LaSalle has won four Ohio…
Weekend Notes
A jam-packed weekend full of events that may be of mild interest to my loyal readers. FNL Cathedral traveled three hours to play a horrible team – they were up 56–0 at halftime and held on to win by that exact score – so I walked across the street with my pal Nicole H to watch The Other CHS play…
Weekend Notes
The first full football weekend of the year. I have some notes. Friday We had the big 6A #3 Cathedral at 3A #1 Bishop Chatard game Friday. Or the girls did. S and I knew it was going to be an absolute shit show; BC has a tiny stadium in the middle of a packed neighborhood and it seemed like…
Holiday Weekend Notes
I’m guessing this was our last ever four-day Labor Day weekend, at least on the academic side of things. St P’s generally (but not always) gives the kids Friday and Monday off, while CHS just takes the actual Monday holiday off. Who knows what M’s schedule will be this time next year, but she won’t be here, so that means…
Weekend Kid Sports Notes
Kid Hoops After a few weeks off, it’s back to the hoops grind for L. Saturday her travel team kicked off a Back to School league that will play on Saturdays for the next two months. I think this is the first time her coach has put his team into the league, and he’s doing his best to keep it…
Weekend Notes
Some catchup from the last few days. Shots Fired…Literally Friday night we had our old neighbors from Carmel over for dinner. They like to rib us about moving from Carmel, which has little violent crime, to Indianapolis, which like most big cities has some issues. I joked that we hadn’t heard any gunfire from our home in over a year.…
