In early November, I took the kids to our seminary's Polity Bowl, where our flag football team (including employees, spouses and a daughter of a seminarian) played the flag football team of Seminary of the Southwest, another nearby seminary. I had a good time. Some people were really set on winning, making me realize that I've lost all my competitive spirit in the last few years. I played wide receiver, but didn't get a chance to catch the ball, as no passes ended up coming my way, but I guess that means that I didn't get a chance to drop the ball either, or to injure my knee trying to catch the ball, as happened to my friend Jessie. I did almost catch a tipped ball in the end zone, but I was illegally tackled while trying to do so. So ends my football glory. It was a fun day anyway and our team won the game. The kids had a great time being cheerleaders for a while and then playing hide and seek with the other kids. Cait, I'm sure, had a great time indoors training for her new job.

| The Episcopalians apparently felt the need to exorcise demons from the field or something, the guy to the far right was swinging around a smoking ball of incense and the priest did a crazy dance. |

Love the Episcopal display. Incense symbolizes lifting up prayers of winning to God and sanctification of their team cohesion obviously.
