I’ve never been much of a sports watcher. I’ve always liked playing ’em but watching ’em? Not so much. Until we watched a Netflix show on Manchester City. And now I really look forward to their Saturday and Wednesday Premier League games.
This afternoon we picked-up sandwiches from Lincoln deli and took it to Pacheco for some mother-son soccer practice and picnicking. We enjoyed our lunch with a friendly neighborhood kitty and then I did the full Bob Jones this afternoon.
One of the toughest things about lockdown has been the loss of sports. I’ve found it really hard to delete the boys’ flag football and baseball practices and games from my calendar. Football playoffs were supposed to start yesterday. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Georgia Bulldogs had so much potential. The Chiefs were undefeated, and Nate was running several hundred yard touchdowns every game. Unfortunately, looks like their mouth guards are hung-up for the season. Nate’s last season as a pure Pacheco team, as the Yankees, may be over before it really started.
We’ve gotten so desperate for some good soccer that we’ve been watching this Netflix show called Sunderland ‘Til I Die. They’ve dropped all the way down from the Premier through the Championship League to League One. Outside of England, who’s ever even heard of League One? If they drop any further it’ll be Boys U-12. Needless to say, the show’s just all right.
I sure hope it’s not Sunderland ’til I die.
