Today was a glorious day, the second one this week. It was unseasonably warm, and very sunny. You could go outside in a jacket rather than a heavy coat! So, of course, we were at a wrestling tournament all day.
Bill did not wrestle, he was given a day off, and a senior at the same weight who has missed most of the year with an injury was allowed to wrestle in his place, which is both fair and right. All seniors who have put four years into the program should get mat time and this was a day for the other kid to get a chance to shine. The coach did have Bill dress in uniform, and made him one of the captains for the day, which I thought sent a strong message to Bill and to the other kids about how Bill is a team player who puts the team before himself.
After the tournament we went with two of the other wrestlers and their parents to a very good Chinese restaurant in Canton which has wonderful and spicy food. We all had dinner, and had a very pleasant time indeed.
We are pretty much packed and ready to go to Evanston in the morning. I think it will be a good couple of days.
