A tough day

You win some, you lose some. It's true. The soccer team had a bad day today, and so our league season ended after the semi-finals. Still our record for the season was 10-3-3. We hope for a wildcard berth in the provincials. 

They say that breaking up is hard to do. In this case watching a break up is hard to do. This, also, is true, even watching it from a distance. It's hard to watch people hurt, even when you know it's necessary. I think I'd modify the bard's words to "I say, we will have no more 'going steady'." Let's just practice loose affiliations that allow for quick entrances and exits. Only when you find that you're inhabiting the same physical space, and you're really not minding it at all, in fact you can't really see things any other way should you consider declaring some sort of committed association. 

PS. Telephone conversations are terrible, but I can't imagine having the conversation I just had with my daughter via texts. So I say that telephones are terrible, but they're better than the alternatives.
