Catching Up

First a soccer update. On November 12th, Mark's team drew 1-1 in an away match in Hollister. The game time was changed at the last minute so we only had 11 players. It was a tough game but they did well. Mark scored a goal but it was disallowed because it was a bad goal kick that did not come out of the area.

On November 19th they played the last game of the season and won 2-0. Once again they could not score a goal after many attacks until Mark Butterworth knocked one in, a volley from his left foot from a corner.

It's been a fun season and I'm sad it's over.

I Saw You is something I did for a friend. He likes Blues and wanted me to sing one. I wrote the words and melody, he did all the misic

I Just Can't Take It is one of my own. I think I need to change the verses a bit but the chorus is good.

Another Song + Defeat at last

I put another song on my site. It's more of a rocker. The guitars were done by an Australian called Nick Abrahams, all the drums and singing are me. It's called Alone.

Mark's team finally lost on Saturday in the most frustrating fashion. They lost to a team that had not won a game all year. Mark's team played so well, much better than in any other game. They had around 40 shots including at least 5 one on one's with the goalie. The other team scored near the end due to some bad refereeing. The ball was kicked out from our defense, hit one of players and bounced back to the goalie, who picked it up. Ref gives a free kick to the other team for backpass. He then tells the defense they cannot move until the "shot is taken" so when they roll the indirect kick to the side no defender moves. Very frustrating. But they played well and the other team's coach is a nice guy who deserved a win.

Soccer this week

On Saturday (29th) Mark's team won again 2-0. Mark scored the first goal against the run of play and then we looked safe. The team has won every game and has not conceeded a goal for 5 weeks. Mark has now scored 5 goals (I think).

After soccer Mark's signing up for NFL Flag Football (American Football). He's always wanted to play and it's new to Morgan Hill.

Monday was halloween. Amy went as The Bedtime Queen, which basically means she wore her pjyamas and dressing gown. Mark went as a soldier with wounds all over his face. I found a cool screwdriver through the head thing.

Next up for us is Thanksgiving.
