A snowy screen
Based on the TV screen, it was time to adjust the rabbit ears. So much snow!
The university football season is over, and the Rouge et Or have accepted the Vanier Cup, at home. How sweet it is for the team, who were undefeated this season. Even today’s score of 29-2; the opposition points were conceded on a technicality. But the snow…
Volunteers started clearing the PEPS field before dawn, and by noon the green with white highlights was ready. Briefly. The lines had to be shovelled on a regular basis, and the field recleared during half time. The kicker had to develop a routine of clearing a circle with his feet before receiving the ball. True Canadian weather. Several attempts to gain yards by “sliding in” were rebuffed by the officials, given that football and baseball have little in common.
I’ve said it before; university football is sporting, with none of the cheap shots that mar other games. No fights, no attempts to maim; too bad the season has to end this early.
What to do with the rest of the afternoon? The sun hasn’t set (the sun hasn’t really appeared). My winter coat is ready in case the snow continues. I may try to find some fresh salmon across the way for supper, given that son #2 has left the building (a fish fearer). A chance to explore other spice combinations while cooking carefully.
Not much else to add. A good game day. Plans for a tasty supper. A few more hours before the “back to the cubicle alarm”.
