Well, on last Friday the weather cleared up before game time, and it was a gorgeous autumn afternoon. So Dan came home and we headed to Riverview together.
And we could not find the soccer field.
The directions at our high school's web site took us directly to Riverview High School - but the game was not held there.
We drove around Riverview for over an hour, and could never find the game.
This really sucked, as it is the second time in recent weeks this has happened - the first being St. Mary's Catholic Central in Monroe. The directions posted at our high school's web site in both cases took us to the opposing high school, but the game was not held there, or anywhere near it.
When we asked Steven he said that the Riverview game had been held in a park "deep in a neighborhood", nowhere near the high school.
And it is not like either Monroe or Riverview is a short drive from the Ann Arbor area, either.
Dan and I were both pretty upset both times.
So the weekend was off to a bad start, and could have been better.
And then this morning I am checking the main discussion board I go to, and find out the bad news that fantasy writer Robert Jordan had passed on - and I found out the news from Mr. Grinch. Since that man (Mr. Grinch) has told me innumerable lies (both from commission and omission) I was hoping it was yet another lie from a completely untrustworthy person. But, after checking around the Internet, it turned out to be true. <sigh>
I know that he (Robert Jordan) had been very ill, and getting experimental treatments from the Mayo Clinic. But he had been so upbeat and determined to beat his very serious and painful medical condition, that this was still an ugly shock. And it has to be tragic and horribly painful for his wife and family and personal friends.
When the Wheel turns, may his next life be filled with happiness and love - and may this former war hero have a very long and peaceful life, with plenty of time to create things! May none of his stories be left unfinished...
