Senior Day, Revisited


Michele and I earned our good parent stripes yesterday by attending the last game of the season for the football Elmhurst Bluejays.  Clare’s boyfriend Chris is a football graduate assistant for the archrival North Central Cardinals, who managed a 38-31 win.  We sat outside, Chris called plays from the press box.

God, it was a cold Senior Day, 32-33 degrees, gray sky with a breeze that crawled down my neck and up my sleeves.  I will never again complain about the mediocre weather that Clare had in April.  Not that the parents minded, I’m sure.  They walked out with their sons who had spent a young lifetime on the gridiron.  By 4PM that would all be over, because this is Division III (Wheaton College excepted, because they get the religious kids who don’t want to go to the big schools but will take a chance on the pros).  When it was over, there were floral bouquets and memories.
Just like in April.
