Yesterday afternoon Steven had a soccer game. I got there a little before halftime, just before a thunderstorm moved in, and the rest of the game got canceled.
Today Steven had an all day soccer tournament in Willamston, near Lansing. I had never been to Williamston before, and was glad to see that it is a very charming and pretty little town. Steven had a big break between games, so we took him out to lunch at Old Chicago in the Lansing suburbs. The food was good, but it was sort of strange for a family of die hard Michigan Wolverines fans to spend the lunch hour in a sports bar packed with Michigan State Spartans fans!
After Steven's last game, Dan and I headed home in my Jeep. (Steven was on the school bus with his team mates). We stopped quickly at the outlet mall in Howell. We went to the Adidas store to buy Steven some more soccer socks. We went back out to the car, and it was dead as a doornail. I called AAA, and the (very nice) tow truck driver got there within 15 minutes. He gave us two charges (it died again after the first one) and we came home. The drive was creepy, because you could tell something was wrong with the electrical system - the clock and the odometer were both flickering on and off. We got home, and the Jeep died again in the drive way. Dan went down to the high school to pick up Steven - the bus had beaten us back by 15 minutes.
Supposedly the Wolverines lost badly again today, and two important player are out with injuries. I am not sure - we were afraid to listen to the radio on the way home! They are working on perhaps having the worst football season of my lifetime!
But the Tigers won tonight, to stay in playoff contention for the wild card! YAY!
