Well, back on Thursday I was thinking I was going to be doing three games in three days. What was I thinking this is 2021 and we are still dealing with Covid-19. Fool!
So just as you can guess, I didn't have three games in three days. Not even close.
The game that I thought was going to be on Friday is actually today (Sunday). I was leaving the house I called my contact at the game. He answered and let me know that the game was actually going to be on Sunday. So, I got off at the next off ramp and came back home. Watched TV and enjoyed the fact that I didn't have to drive 45 miles in the rain! I live in San Diego, just by living here you can guess if I like rain or not...spoiler alert, I hate rain!
So on Saturday (yesterday), USD was scheduled to play Loyola Marymount University or as we call it here in Southern California LMU. I woke up to an email from my new boss saying that LMU had a positive test and the game would be called off for today. I emailed him back saying OK. Now, because I'm kind-of superstitious I have to wear the same thing if one of my teams is on a winning streak. Well, that is where we are with the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs played a game last Tuesday (beat San Jose 7-3) the same day that USD women's team lost to Saint Mary's. So, the Avs played again on Thursday also against San Jose. The same day Gonzaga and USD were on the court (check out that blog here to see how that went). Well, Colorado was nice enough to wait until I got into the truck before they scored and they did so three times on the way home for a 3-0 win. With all of that said, I couldn't screw up a winning streak by changing something up (See even Kevin Costner in Bull Durham knows). So, I wore the same outfit that I wore on Tuesday and Thursday; blue jeans, sleeveless undershirt, light blue USD polo shirt, my light blue sweater and my Nike shoes. I wore this as Mom, Dad and myself went to Point Loma Sea Foods (if you live in or near San Diego, you really should go and have some great Sea Food there is you already haven't) and then watched airplanes (can say multiple cause we saw three) takeoff from Lindbergh Field. We came home and I watched the Avs take down the Minnesota Wild (or as I refer to them, Mild) 5-1.
Looking ahead to today, I have an issue. The Avs are playing Minnesota again tonight, but the game that was supposed to be played on Friday is being played today at 2p in East Carlsbad/West San Marcos. I really wouldn't mind wearing a hoodie with USD on it....but I don't want to mess with Colorado's winning streak. Dilemas Dilemas.
So, I think I will wear the hoodie and not the polo shirt and sweater and just hope that the Avs can take care of business like they should be able to. If I screw up the streak, I'll take responsibility before the game even faces off.
Until next time.
Oh, and tell me in the comments if you would be interested in seeing me go around San Diego and asking random people their thoughts on different questions on YouTube. I'm thinking of calling it Street Talk. Let me know.
