-Another year ends-The man with two grills
AC D.C. finished its sixth year of playing football on Saturday. Much like the US v. Brazil game on Sunday, ours was a game of two halves. Against the win-less FC Griggs, we came out strong and dominated possession, made sensible passes and threatening crosses. Our goal came in the middle of the first half. Jan, playing his last game in his 6-year AC D.C. career, crossed the ball into the box and Matt Welch finished with aplomb.
Our problems came in the second half, when an aggressive offense posture led to some glaring defensive errors. Our play deteriorated to a "fourth grade" level as our opponent kept reinforcing with new substitutions fresh off the highway. The final score of 3-1 is a bit flattering for our opponents (who still finished below us in the standing), but this is a game we should never have lost. Oh well.
And so, another year ends. I awoke today with the bewildering sense of not knowing what to do with myself. "What do you mean there's no AC D.C. football?" Such a strange sensation. So, I occupied myself with milling around the house, watching old movies, folding laundry etc.
A big thank you to Matt Welch for offering up his cooking skills. When a man has two grills, you know he means serious business. The salmon was simply outrageous. Keep that coming.
Wednesday work outs to start this week. See you boys and girls soon.
