A real uniform . . .

Needed a bit of color on this grey December day.

Went to see Kiddo play in his first JV Basketball game at St. Bernard High. They lost in double overtime 20-18. But his Sacred Heart team really got it together and worked hard in the second half to tie the game and go into the overtime. They were just a bit short. St. Joseph's had already played two games and our kiddos were in their first game so I think they did quite well. Their uniforms are quite professional compared to Groton Rec t-shirts! I restrained myself in yelling instructions on how to play and only clapped and yelled encouragement. Hard work! Grampa had to take me out for lunch at Gus's Pub because I was famished after all the yelling and screaming was done. And . . . the game was actually played at 9 in the morning!

After Kiddo got his Mom's password yesterday he was able to go on line to get new games for my super iPad. He also taught me how to use the camera and a few other useful apps. I may sell my old one now that we're chugging along so well with this one but I'm not sure since I can read on the old one while Kiddo plays on the newbie! He suggested I give him my original iPad but I don't think I will; too many distractions in a kid's life as it is; doesn't need more.

Bumped into the Mains while we were at Gus's. It was nice to speak with them. They are older than we are by about ten years but still hanging in. They asked if the house was still on the market so I explained how we'd probably try again in late Spring but didn't feel very confident about selling. He made me feel quilty because they've always had Carons living here; well, at least since about 1911. They may just get their wish of us staying. I doubt the economy in Connecticut will improve at all for years to come.

Time to exercise before the UCONN women's game.
