victory!

the abrams team played an impromptu double header in softball last night and won both games! :) of course, our double header consisted of playing the same team twice, so once we mercied them the first game it would have been quite embarrassing to lose the second. the 2nd was a much closer match, but we came out on top. its fun to win, but for me it was more satisfying to see the team play well. after our victories, we hung out at hooters of all places. never again! this restaurant has no redeeming qualities. it was small, overpriced, and full of high schoolers. after waiting 30 minutes for a table, we walk in and my first thought is "where are all the middle aged perverted guys who come here to look at the waitresses in their tight shirts"? nope, high schoolers everywhere. enjoyed some of the Olympic opening ceremony while i sat enjoying my Labatt in large manly hooters mug and double cheese grill cheese platter with curly fries. it really put Americas wealth and size in perspective. we have 500+ athletes in this years games. i saw countries with as few as 2 athletes, and they were always in some obscure (non televised) sport such as 'shooting'. 'Shooting' really? you can't find one person in your entire country to train and compete in 'track and field'? 'Shooting' takes advanced equipment (gun, bullets, targets). 'Track and field' all you need is feet. got feet?
