Typical Saturday – did some house chores and then watched college football.
ECU beat State in overtime. This was a disappointing loss as State clearly did not play well. We let ECU run all over us in the first quarter – 3 touchdowns! Second quarter – State scored 3 touchdowns.
In the second half – nothing. The game goes into overtime and ECU wins after intercepting Russell Wilson for the 3rd time in the game.
We pissed away the ECU game. Granted, State does not have a lot of depth (especially on defense) and midway through the season we’re banged up without a lot of backup. But if we had played our game (and not ECU’s) – we would have won. The kids put out a great effort – the loss was due to poor preparation and coaching (IMHO).
Later Saturday was the annual neighborhood block party / pig picking. Perfect weather – nice and sunny and mild. I forgot my camera so I don’t have any photos. A lot of people were asking about all the clearing I had done on my lot. I joked that I was putting in some trailers to rent out to migrant workers.
Interestingly, a couple (actually 3) of politicians showed up – NC House candidate and a couple of County Commissioner candidates. Being a semi-rural soccer mom and almost totally white neighborhood – the politicians that showed up were of the tea-bagger variety. Well, not tea-baggers, but all 3 were Republicans.
I actually had a nice time talking with these guys. One on one – you can have an intelligent conversation once you get away from the jingoistic campaign crap. One guy though (running for County Commissioner) – well – he’s weird. I mean weird.
Sunday
Sitting outside on a warm sunny afternoon – listening to nice music – great way to spend the day.
