It was a mixed weekend for AC D.C. A lot of you who play indoor were out of town skiing (when did skiing become so popular....maybe all this snow has something to do with it). So, we went into the weekend games with some make-shift squads.
Saturday's game at Fairfax was a good game. We played really well coming out of the gates, passing well, dominating possession. But then, we gave up a goal and played most of the game from behind. We kept playing though, which is the most important thing. Our shots kept hitting post after post, but we kept our heads in it. We finally equalized with 15" to go, and scored the winning goal with 50 sec left (4-3 final).
Sunday was futsal in DC. It was good to play this again, cuz the last 3 weeks in a row were cancelled because of snow. While I was busy on the sideline managing a disaster at the hospital, our futsal squad ran into a very good team. Most of our squad hadn't played futsal before, so we had quite a bit of trouble playing against a strong opponent. In the end, we lost 3-5.
Perhaps more important was what happened off the pitch though.
On Friday evening, I got the good news that Jim Wood got engaged. Those of you who played with Jimmy know that Megan and he have been dating for 5 years. About time! But, going with the win-some, lose-some theme, there is also bad news on the romantic front. On Saturday, yours truly was rejected by eHarmony. I did my profile with a friend who knows me better than myself, and we didn't enter anything unreasonable. Yet, the site says I'm No Good....unmatchable! What kind of a loser gets dumped by an online dating service?!
Here's hoping for a better week....and no more snow before spring!
