For the third straight season (fall '04, spring '05 and fall '05), the soccer team I play on made our league's championship game, which is next Sunday. We won today, 2-1; it's the third time we've beaten them.
It's been a weird season; many a time I haven't looked forward to playing, not because I don't want to, but because I'd like not to have little aches and pains (that, and it's been a strange season in general). I'm told they come with age, and climbing some hills in the Blue Ridge and the long drive to and from didn't exactly help for an 8:30 a.m. game, but I made it through yet again.
We still have at least two weeks more to play, as our league also holds a tournament between teams in different divisions. Ironically enough, we play the same team the next two weeks. Next week, the championship game, the week after, the tournament game. And, if we win the tournament game, there's yet another game to decide the winner of the tournament.
