Week 4: dp vs DP

Unlike Weeks 1, 2, & 3 where Sludge DNP, Sludge finally d.p. [did play] versus DP (Duck Pond).

At kid-friendly Montgomery Hills fields, the first meeting of the Babysitters Club began.


"Play time" started amicably 15 minutes late and then, it was very cute, everyone started to play so well with one another. A somewhat depleted DP went #1 first as Sludge gave up the first point of their spring season. A pickuppy pace ensued between the endzones -- pull; 2-3 throws before the first mark appeared; then a turn or a bid for a score. Generally, spring described the season more than the step-of-Sludge.
By "Snack time," Sludge was ahead 8-to-3.

It was a beautiful day with a slight wind which created some semi-turbulence in the 2nd half. Errant throws seemed to be either just out of reach or off the fingertips. Defensively, Sludge's Zone-D attempted to awake from its winter nap, but it had a temper tantrum that created a "timeout" situation. Those privleges were hastily replaced by Person-D for the rest of the day. Everyone and every body of age had plenty of play, 4:3 ratio was on the field while at the playground there was a 1:1 ratio of adult:child.

On this day, proud parents could hear their Sludge Generation II children say:
"My mommy/daddy beat your mommy/daddy in ultimate frisbee!"
The game ended too soon with a Sludge victory which led to pickup...pick up of toys & blankets, a quick pickup game, and eventually pick up & GO-TO-YOUR-ROOM (Couch) for..."Nap time!"

:Fashion Notes:
>New bling was worn by the newlyweds.
>Charlie wore his UnderArmour Brown shirt.
>Anna Luna sported (soccer?) cleats.

Week 1: DST, FYI


With a Stay of Execution (...of scheduling B-Leeg games), Sludge remains undefeated early in the 2007 season. YEAH!

Sans game, Sludge can freely spring ahead without having any aches or pains begging for that lost hour of rest. May the extra daylight provide some possible lure to maybe exercise (run?, step in the shower?, dust off cleats? find brown shirt?) before the first game. Well, at least, change your clock(s).

THANK YOU to all who pickedup - either in game or during park cleanup.

Be a Sludge Gamer!

I typically don't surf car-related Web sites, but after seeing a bunch of CASTROL GTX TV ads about battling harmful sludge and calling sludge nasty names, I looked them up to send in a complaint. Instead, I was amusingly distracted by their online games. Thank You, Internets.
