Meredyth, a fellow seminarian, her sister, Andrew, Moses, and I went to support her nephew Logan on his way to victory tonight. His team won 35-0 and now are on their way to the state championship game in Madison on Friday. From the sound of things we'll be leaving Friday after classes and join lots of others in rooting on Marquette to another victory. It feels a bit funny going to high school games again. In some ways its hard to image that it's been so long since my days in high school, but in reality little has changed. The hot dogs still taste the same while the couples still glue themselves to each other under the bleachers. The marching bands continue to play but with different tunes. If I remember correctly we were playing the theme from Shaft and tonight Austin Power's appears to have taken over the trombone and flute sections. All in all the trip down memory lane helped me to leave my books behind at least for a few hours. I did take my Greek cards with me though. As the winning team took to the field I cried, "I do!" That's the pronunciation of the Greek word for "Behold." At least we learned one new word tonight. They say the weathers wonderful with highs in the low 50's and no snow. I'll take their word for it.
