Athletic Games


We have been attending several games in the two weeks that we have been in Omaha. Susannah is now playing volleyball, as is Keilah, and the twins continue to play soccer. The games are fun to watch and to cheer on the grands who are playing. They all want their team to win but do not seem to mope too much if they lose.

We also watched the Nebraska vs Virginia Tech game. I think the final score was 30 to 33 in favor of Tech. But this is Bo Pelinni's first year as Nebraska's head coach, and we have to give him some slack. It will be interesting to see how the season plays out. Living here for four years shaped us into Nebraska football fans, and we try to watch them play whenever we can. Of course, when we winter in Texas, we have to cheer on the Texas teams too.

My real love is baseball but I only seem to enjoy it when we can be in the park watching the play. There is always so much going on, including the game. Of course, you can go get a hot dog or cold beer to enjoy while watching. HW2 likes the seventh inning stretch and hopes to do the YMCA cheer or the Wave. One of the highlights was watching Texas play Cleveland and discovering that President Bush - 41, was in attendance. He happily waved to the crowd and went back to watching the game. There is so much to do at baseball games.

Now I would not turn down tickets to a Nebraska game in Lincoln. Imagine sitting there and yelling with 85,000 of your closest friends all dressed in red! Quite a spectacle I think. So far no tickets have come our way but I keep hoping.
