This past week has been equally full of district sports playoff games and bombastic thunderstorms. On Thursday, the boys soccer championship game was delayed and delayed and delayed for two hours until it was finally rescheduled on account of persistent lightning. Everyone else was bored - I kept myself thoroughly entertained.
