TOGA! TOGA!

Wow! Where has January gone? It's gonna be spring before I know it. Well, football is officially over, for this year. We went to the boys' awards banquet last night. Once again, a great night. Collin and Matthew both received trophies for playing and both received the Carl Walls award. That's the scholastic award for maintaining a 93% GPA during the season. On top of that, Matthew was named a Pop Warner Scholastic All-American. That's for a 96% GPA. Much like last year with Collin, we'll find out in April if he's selected first team, second team, or honorable mention. We'll keep you updated.
This year's banquet was a little different. They set up a long table for each team, so all the boys can sit together one last time. This plan had it's pros and cons. Pros: One last hurrah. Talk about the season. And most importantly, don't have to sit with your parents! Cons: Remember the movie Animal House? Yeah. It was just like that. And of course, out of the five football teams and three cheer teams, who's table was the rowdiest? Take a guess. Oh, and a quick math equation for you. Baked potatoes + 10-12 year old boys = projectiles. I don't need to elaborate. And this is before they realized they could help themselves to the coffee. Anyway, great night, great fun, and we didn't have to wear our togas.
One last football note. I'm now the VP of Scholastics for Cape Vikings Pop Warner. It's now my job to determine who qualifies for the scholastic awards that are given. I'll have to review each players report card to see who qualifies. There's only 175 kids. How hard can it be? Yikes!
Nothing else interesting going on. Cut some firewood today. The upstairs heat pump broke last week, so we had to pay to get that fixed. I hate having to do that! Man, I'll be so glad when spring gets here. I'm so done with the cold. Had enough. It was fun while it lasted. Kind of nice around Christmas. But now it's worn out it's welcome. Be gone old man! And besides. Baseball season starts in 45 days!
Woo Hoo!
