Mom was here this weekend and we were planning to go to Drew to see them play Scranton on Saturday. One problem: they weren't playing in Madison. I must be a bad alum since we passed on the 2+ hour trip to Scranton and went to Princeton. I've been to Harvard, but never to Princeton so we thought that would be a fun trip.
I wasn't sure if they would let us in since we were commoners and not wearing orange and black, but we snuck in through one of the open gates. We got there early and I took a couple pics from the new stadium that they were dedicating.
It turned out that I was rooting for Dartmouth based on the way the Princeton players were diving and generally being little babies. We were sitting on the Princeton side so I kept it pretty quiet until the second half and overtime. Dartmouth dominated most of the two overtimes, but couldn't break the 1-1 draw. Dartmouth doesn't list stats like height on their roster page, but their keeper had to be at least 6'5. He grabbed every ball that came near him in the air without much of a challenge.
When I announced at Drew, I remember reading a statement that had something to do with sportsmanship, but at Princeton, they asked us to act with class. Hopefully a few of their players heard that since they got a little upset at the end of the game and took a few swings at a Dartmouth player. Maybe they were just mad because the Tigers are 2-6-1 so far, but I really enjoyed heckling Antoine for that and his dirty play in the second half.
- cleaned my apartment pretty well
- had dinner
- went for groceries
That's pretty good for a Thursday night. I needed to clean before Mom gets here tomorrow. Hardwood floors are impossible to keep clean so I broke down and decided to try a Swiffer. I got both the wet and dry kits. I have to say it does a pretty good job. The cleaning solution on the wet mop smells good and I like the spray button too. :p
No ridiculous adventures at the grocery store tonight for a change, although I had to backtrack a few times since some of the product arrangements don't make too much sense.
We have a choice of 5 soccer games on Saturday: Drew is now at Scranton at 1pm so we might go out there or we can stay nearby and go to FDU-M vs. Alvernia (1pm), FDU-T vs. Temple (1pm), Princeton vs. Dartmouth (4pm), and Rutgers vs. DePaul (7pm). Plenty to choose from so I'm sure we'll find something to do.
Edit: Add filing to the completed list. Lots of stuff to shred at work tomorrow!
