And That's A Wrap

On Monday, Julia played Saint Hubert's in field hockey. The game was pretty close, and the varsity won 2-1. Julia was effectively running the defense, and while they saw two goals in from Hubert's, the game was pretty clean. Julia then played JV - as always - and that game was much better, a 1-1 tie. Better than a loss.
On Tuesday, they played Germantown Academy for the last game of the season. It was a slaughter. Germantown is terrific, and varsity lost the game 9-0. The JV game was more exciting, and a closer game. Julia didn't like these girls because one of them threw an elbow into Julia's face, and she had to quickly run to wipe the blood off her lips.
Oh, and get this, JULIA got the penatly, despite she was the one who was assaulted. It's amazing how awful the referees are so biased at some teams. It's really embarrassing.

Happy Birthday Meghan!

Today would have been Meghan's fifty-fourth birthday. I still miss her, but the sadness is starting to wane. It took a while, but I'm getting through it.
While I was thinking about Meghan, I thought if she would be looking down on Julia, and smiling that my daughter became such a terrific player in field hockey. Meghan was an all-star in lacrosse and field hockey. I'd like to think she sees what Jules has been doing on the field.
I don't want to get to emotional, and I hope Meghan is enjoying life in Heaven.

Well, I Never Thought This Would Happen

So, last year, Julia's team won one game in the entire season. They played hard, but it wasn't in the cards.
This year, seems to be much better. They won two varsity games early on, then went into a spiral of powerhouses. The team was getting annoyed, but yesterday was a pick-them-up.
Yesterday, Jules' team beat Little Flower, winning 3-1. It's the first time they had three varsity wins and a JV win for a year or two. Now, they aren't a powerhouse yet, but the team is really congealing into a good team.
Julia did let the only goal in, but after she composed herself, she activated Beast Mode, and Little Flower didn't get a goal after that. Between Jules (sophomore), Sydney (freshman), and Kara (junior), the three of them dominated, along with the goaltender.
It was Senior Night, and we had dinner afterward in the cafeteria. It was a good day, and they have two more games left on Monday and Tuesday. Kevin has a cross-country had a meet yesterday as well. Finished overall 71 out of 90, but the powerhouse LaSalle pretty much destroyed many of the runners.

The Looting Was Yuge!

Well, it had to be Florida. Where else?
As Hurricane Helene battered a Florida city covered by a state of emergency declaration, two men allegedly burglarized a “Trump Store” stocked with merchandise promoting the ex-president, according to cops who say one of the alleged looters was wearing a “Trump cowboy hat” when busted. On Friday evening, investigators patrolling a closed-off section of Madeira Beach, a city in the Tampa Bay area, discovered two men loitering outside a closed business plaza whose tenants include a realtor, a gift shop selling crystals and shark teeth, and the Trump store.
These dolts should have trashed a Harris store. Oh, yeah, no one cares about Kamala Harris and her scum.
When police approached the pair, they were in possession of merchandise that matched items sold in the Trump store, which “was unsecured due to damages from the storm.” One of the suspects, Lance Petrisevac, 57, was wearing a “Trump cowboy hat” that he claimed “ended up in his possession” after it “washed up from the hurricane.” Petrisevac was accompanied by John Peters, 61, who, cops say, “was in possession of a ‘Trump’ hat, two (2) ‘Trump’ style shirts, and a coffee mug.”
Well, if nothing else, these gentlemen probably five of six girls every night.
Yep, step right up ladies, and pick your favorite criminal!

Yep, Another Personal Record

Kevin and his cross-country team were at William Tennent High School Saturday. They were there for a three-mile meet with other schools. We were worried because Kevin said he wasn't feeling well, and thought he has a cold. Thankfully, it was just the sniffles, and was able to make the run.
Kevin came past by the first loop and was in fourth place for the team. About five minutes later, Kevin was up to third place.
When Kevin came around the final lap, he looked like he was not feeling well, but he ignored that and continued running as fast as he could. When I was cheering for him at the last 200 meters, he said, "I know, Dad, I'm gone!" And he did.
He sprinted the last 200 meters and finished third for the team. Last year at this meet, he finished with a 22:55:77. This year, he finished with a 22:46:51, dropping nine seconds off his time. He keeps getting better and better.

JD Vance Had No Chance

JD Vance was in Pennsylvvania on September 29th, and apparently the awful people who run Primanti Brothers - a store which puts out subpar sandwiches - decided JD Vance would not be allowed to eat their awful sandwiches. Because, you know, Republican.
Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance, at no fault of his own, caused controversy when he was kicked out of Primanti Bros. in Pennsylvania.
At one point, he was allowed - wow how magnanimous - to enter the location.
Vance, who was in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, was reportedly asked to leave Primanti Bros. when he popped up on Saturday. According to a report from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Vance showed up unannounced at the eatery in North Versailles and was asked by management to leave or they would call the cops. The company later put out a statement, claiming confusion as management and workers were unaware he would be arriving.
I was at Primanti Brothers years ago, and while a lot of Pittsburgh citizens love the food, I thought it was less than par. Unfortunately, people will still probably go to these stores, gleefully loving how the employees were such assholes.

Sometimes Teammates Aren't Exactly Teammates

This is a photo of Julia's goaltender on the left, and Julia on the right. Julia and the goaltender are besties. They are two peas in a pod, practically sisters.
I mentioned the Lansdale game, where the varsity lost 7-0. Halfway through the game, many of the seniors were yelling at her because she was letting goals by. Mind you, Lansdale is one of the better teams in the conference. It's difficult to be a goaltender already, but it's worse when you are getting yelled at by your own "teammates." The goalie was pulled from the game - probably because it was such a rout - and the goalie grabbed her equipment and walked home.
Since Monday, Julia had been begging the goalie to come back. It's already Wednesday, and the goalie still refuses to come back to play. I can't blame her, since a lot of the seniors were terrible to her. Julia said she is not letting her quit.
Julia is distressed because her school sister still isn't coming to field hockey practice. I mean, Julia will still continue playing, but she's not the same person without the goalie. The goalie is the nicest person you would ever meet, and I consider her the other daughter of our family. I really hope she comes back. Julia doesn't want to play without her.

Squirt Squirt, Squirt The Animals Whenever You're In The Bath

Meet Sean Uribe of Miami, Florida. Sean has nothing going on in his pathetic life, so he decided to harass women by shooting liquid from a syringe and shot them on the bum.
In two separate incidents, cops allege, Uribe, 35, followed female victims around Miami, Florida department stores and used a “medical syringe” to squirt an unknown liquid on the buttocks of his targets. While brandishing the syringe in one hand, Uribe was filming the vile acts with his cellphone.
Can't get work, can't get any friends, but he CAN squirt women on their arses.
Uribe was arrested last week and charged with battery on a child, a felony, two misdemeanor battery counts, and a felony tampering with evidence charge. Uribe posted bond yesterday and will be subject to house arrest. A judge previously ordered him to stay away from the victims and the department stores.
Now obviously, I am nowhere near as attractive as this psychopath, but at least I know that you don't shoot liquids on an unknown woman. I can't believe he wasn't shooting the women on their chests. Ugh, so gross.

Well, Yesterday Was, Um, Intriguing

So yesterday, Cardinal O'Hara came to Julia's school for a field hockey game. There were supposed to be two games - which Jules would be playing both - but it was also the Ring Mass at school. So, the JV game was canceled, and Jules played varsity.
O'Hara has about thirty-plus players, while her school had twenty. Not counting our goalie was sick and another player has a heart condition. O'Hara was rather late, then decided to take their time warming up, as the rain started. No on really they thought they would beat O'Hara, and I still don't know the score, because it was such a beating. They laughed at all the goals they were getting, against a goalie who never played a real full game.
In short, they were a-holes.
Jules was playing really hard, as she always does, but she let in a few goals, and I could tell she was getting really angry - about herself and O'Hara. Jules always plays very hard, and doesn't take stuff from other teams. In the second half, she was an absolute beast. She was running toward the shooters and swiping the ball from them, or using her hips to move someone out of her way. It's how she always play.
At the end of the game, one of her teammates came over to Jules and said the O'Hara girls were throwing out some words you shouldn't say in a Catholic school. Brynn, the teammate came to her and when she started talking to Jules, she said, "I don't want to know." We don't know what these skanks said about Princess P, but if her playing style got O'Hara riled up, then, screw them.
P.S. - Some of you may remember Jules last game at O'Hara where she got hit with a ball on her leg, and refused to get off the field. Well, that happened again yesterday, and she got hit at the same spot she got hit last year. Spooky.
Oh, the final score was 10-0.

If Nothing Else, She'll Need More Batteries

Meet Chelsea White of Florida. Chelsea really likes her, um, toys... so much so that she has beaten someone with one... twice!
For the second time in two years, a Florida Woman has been arrested for a dildo-related domestic battery. Chelsea White, 35, and her boyfriend were in the kitchen about to eat when the man discovered that his missing “glass dildo” was inside White’s backpack in the couple’s Fort Pierce residence.
The “mother of his child stole something from him and it got physical,” according to an arrest affidavit.
During an 11 PM tussle, White and the 35-year-old victim exchanged assorted blows. After the pair briefly separated, the man told cops, White began hitting him again “after he went to grab the backpack.” White “was standing in the kitchen and threw the glass dildo” at her beau. The dildo missed its target, instead hitting a door and waking the couple’s child.
Sadly, the problem is she won't be able to hug her sex toy while she's in prison... again.
