DAYTON FRIDAYS

++ FRIDAY IN DAYTON. well not the entire friday, but friday nights in dayton. matt, kathleen, kathrin, and i went to dayton on friday. first to play a game of soccer at the fairborn sportsplex with some old high school friends. it was re-union night. steve showed up, francis was there, cindy played, fracncis's fiancee - wendy, steve's girlfriend - beth, tom watched from above with his broken toe, jeff, jeff's girlfriend - sarah, dad, grandfather, and steve's parents were all there. the last time i had played soccer with steve was most likely 8th grade .. about 10 years ago! oh yeah, we got beat again. 8-2 i think.
..
matt is feebly trying to get himself thrown out of every indoor soccer place in ohio. he has only 3 left in the entire state which he is allowed to play in. (ok, this entire sentance is false.)
matt is also the only person i know who will talk smack and trash talk while playing on the losing team with only 30 seconds left in the game and losing by 6 points and sitting out on the sideline because he was too tired to stay in the game. (this entire sentance actually is true.)
..
after the game we all went to the southern belle. a friendly 'nice' dive bar in downtown dayton, next to the canal street tavern. it was a good time, getting beat in pool a whole bunch of times and catching up with old friends. they say its a waste of money to buy beer, because the mixed drinks are so stiff. i'll take their word and have a beer please.
..
francis and wendy teamed up in pool. in every game, francis would put all the balls in but couldn't finish the game. this was reserved for wendy, who would put the 8-ball in and effectively beat us every time.
gary has given up alcohol for lent. gary isn't catholic. he had two cokes on the rocks.
tom's mouth decided it was going to start talking again without consulting his brain. it seems to do that at every inopportune time it can.
hi matt. bye matt. see you in another 6 years!
beth says she talks so she can hear herself. i think she's trying to make up for steve being even quieter than cindy. cindy doesn't talk.
