An Uneventful Weekend
Weekends are really too short. I’m certainly not the first to observe that, but I figured I ought to add my name to the list.
After nearly a month off, I refereed seven indoor soccer matches this weekend. They were all pretty easy. I didn’t even give out so much as a blue card! (In indoor, a blue card is one step below a yellow card. There is no equivalent in outdoor soccer based on FIFA’s Laws.) I sure hope next weekend’s games are more interesting, or this could be a long indoor session. Not that interesting == giving out a lot of cards, mind you. But I had way too much day-dreaming time during my games this weekend. Heck, I don’t think anybody even disagreed with any of my calls. (Of which there were few, because most of the games were pretty pathetic.) What’s the fun of being a sports official if you don’t get yelled at once in a while?
For the first time this year I really started itching for the start of this spring’s baseball and outdoor soccer seasons. My soccer needs have been met (sort of) by the indoor season. I really need to get back out on a baseball diamond, though.
I finished a book this weekend. Yeah, it’s a book about running a restaurant. I’m not actually planning to open a restaurant any time in the near future, but I have always been interested in the idea. Maybe one of these days… For the record, Running a Restaurant for Dummies is a pretty decent book. It is by far the best read of the books I looked at that were directed at beginners. I read it in about 3 days. It could really use an accompanying CD (or website) with the forms they talk about, though.
The Missus made me roasted chicken and twice-baked potatoes last night. Mmm, tasty! I think she
has salmon on the menu tonight. She must like me.
