What do you get when you combine a tree pollen count of, like, 80-quadzillion and combine it with a weekend soccer tournament that requires sitting at Sara Lee Park for something like 15 hours in 90 degree heat? A really hot, sunburned and smelly middle aged guy who can't breathe. Welcome to my hell, otherwise known as "Snotsville".
Oh, BTW Erin was a guest player for one of her club's sister teams (there are three U-15 girls "Challenge" teams in her club) and they came in second in the U-18 bracket of the Beat the Heat tournament. Okay, there were only three teams in the bracket so they played the other two teams twice, but one of the teams was a very strong U-18 team from West Virginia (they won all four of their games) and our girls managed to hang with them for three out of four halves of soccer that they played. The other team was a strong U-15 team from Statesville that's given all of our club's U-15 team fits for the last couple of years and our girls managed to win both those games. Four games in two days in 90+ degree heat is no easy thing and the girls did so and managed to play some great soccer in the process. I enjoyed watching it despite my massive mucus problems.
