Sweet Vindication

Remember the bitter defeat suffered a few weeks ago when Nick and two other members of his basketball team fouled out and the team lost in overtime? Wednesday night they met again to play for a spot in the championship game. Nick's team overcame a 0-2 deficit and led generously the remainder of the game to handily win 56-47. They were awesome and they all stayed out of foul trouble!

The trouble is, there is no school today due to grading, and Nick had long been anticipating the church middle school youth retreat in Lincoln City. They left yesterday after school, and the championship game is tonight. His coach tried to get the game changed, but no luck. So, weather permitting, I will take a nice drive to Lincoln City this afternoon. Who would have thought snow would be causing road problems in March? The sacrifices a mother must make.....
