Football Miss

We wanted to take Little Kat to a high school football game. However he was sick this weekend for Kit Kat's homecoming football game. I figured we could all go to another one of Kit Kat's high school home football games. Kit Kat was not down with this plan. She does not like football. Momoko overruled her and said she must attend.

I took the action item to find out when the next home football game is. The web did not easily show the football schedule. I called up Kit Kat's school. Got put through to the football coach. Then I found the school schedule on the web. Looks like all the home games for Kit Kat's high school football team are over. Boo. We might have to go to an away game.

Well it is time to go play tennis with the family. See you soon.

Downtown Meeting

My company scheduled an all hands meeting for our team. Food was going to be provided. But it was going to be held in the middle of the city at rush hour. Ouch. Everybody pretty much said they were going to take the train there. I had to buck the trend.

I made sure I left early to drive all the way into the city. The drive started out good. Then it slowed to a crawl in the city. I drove by where I went to high school. Then I missed my turn. Went around a couple circles, found the place, but missed the one parking space by the meeting place.

Well I circled around a couple blocks. Found a little VW Beetle leaving his parking spot. I did a quick U-turn, and claimed the spot. They had some weird way to pay for parking. You don't put coins in a meter by your parking space. You walk down the block to purchase a receipt to put in your window. What the heck? I only had 2 maximum of 2 hours parking. When my time was up, I snuck out of my meeting, then came home.

The Cotillion Court

A close friend from work has a daughter that just graduated from high school. For her 18th birthday, they held a big bash. Mamma Kat and I were invited. The invitation said formal attire was required. I asked if I had to rent a tuxedo. I found out a suit was fine.

It was tough to get out of work today. When I got home I took a nap. Then Mamma Kat and I got hooked on some anime. Mamma Kat locked herself in our bedroom to get ready. It came time to leave. But I had not gotten ready yet. So I banged on the door. Seems Mamma Kat was just chilling in there.

I grabbed my best white shirt and proceeded to iron it. Then it took some time to get into my suit. We took off in the rain to get to the part place. As we arrived, they were serving salad. This was indeed a formal affair. It felt like a wedding ceremony. There was a huge slide show after dinner was served. Mamma Kat kept making me go to the bar to pick us up some drinks. No, I did not choose any alcohol. We snuck out after the official program of the night had ended. Whew. Let's hope Kit Kat does not need anything like this when she graduates.
