Last night, Sydney and I went to a middle school dodge ball party at Holy Cross. For $5, you could have a pizza dinner, some open gym time, and a fun game of dodge ball.
We played various games, including capture the flag, "continuous dodge ball", and a game called train wreck.
Pastor led a small devotion after dinner, which I honestly enjoyed.
Thanks to everyone who helped with this event! I had a fun time!

NFL Week 15
This NFL season is becoming more and more unsatisfactory. The Bears feasted on the Vikings on Monday. Brett Favre actually started the game, but injured his shoulder 18 minutes into the game. Retire time?
Despite a valiant effort, Green Bay lost to New England. We had the lead most of the game, but when they scored following an interception late in the game, we couldn't answer. Matt Flynn, filling in for a concussed Aaron Rodgers, impressed me, but we certainly could've used A-Rod.
Every game matters now. We lose next week to New York, and we're out of the playoffs.
Probably the most exciting game of the week was the Eagles-Giants game. The game was tied with seven seconds left in regulation, and the Giants kicker stupidly decided to punt to DeSean Jackson. This decision didn't seem so bad at first. Jackson fumbled the ball, but then scooped it up and ran all the way into the end zone.
The Saints fell to Baltimore after a seesaw game, and the Lions beat the upstart Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Indianapolis kept their playoff hopes alive by defeating Jacksonville at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Tim Tebow played well in his first NFL start. Not surprisingly, he had a rushing touchdown, and he should've had a passing TD, but his receiver dropped the perfect throw.

Downtown Caroling 2010
Today was the Junior Choir's annual downtown caroling day, and I'd say it was even more fun than last year.
We visited the same places, including the courthouse, Aunt Millie's, Fifth Third Bank, the Lincoln Tower, and the mayor's office (unfortunately, the mayor wasn't present this year), and sang mostly the same songs. As always, we ate a free lunch at Coney Island.
My favorite spot was Cindy's Diner, a cute little place with really good donuts.
I think we did a fantastic job.

NFL Week 14
Everything is going wrong for Packers' fans! Despite New England slaughtering the Bears at Soldier Field, Chicago is still first in the NFC North. The Detroit Lions handed us a piece of humble pie, so the standings don't change.
The Colts aren't helping their playoff chances. They lost by two in Tennessee, which leaves them in second place.
The Buccaneers beat Washington by a mere point, due to a high snap on Washington's part. Tampa is still a team to worry about.
The Jets are also worrying, losing to Miami on Sunday. A Jets trainer has been suspended for tripping a Dolphins player, during a punt return. Even though he apologized profusely and sincerely, I think that was an awfully dirty, disgusting thing to do.
Philadelphia beat the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night. After the game, the Cowboys' running back asked Michael Vick for an autograph. I can't blame him. Vick continues to play unbelievably.
With luck, we can beat New England next week. Assuming that Chicago loses to New York, we'll be tied for first. Cross your fingers!

Snow Day!
Following a painful Packers defeat, a school cancellation was exactly the thing I needed.
A few inches of snow was enough to close school for the day, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful snow.
The roads are cleared, though, so unless we get some more snow tonight, I'll have to drag myself out of bed tomorrow morning.

NFL Week 13
I can't complain too much about this NFL Week. The Vikings beat the Bills at home, but Benedict Favre left the game with another injury. He hasn't practiced as of Thursday, and his streak of 298 starts is in jeopardy.
The Browns came out on top against Miami, and lowly Jacksonville had a convincing win against the Titans.
The Saints nearly lost to Cincinnati, but a fourth quarter penalty in the red zone saved them. A New Orleans loss would've really helped Green Bay, as would've a Chicago loss. However, the Bears don't seem to care much about Green Bay's fortunes, because they defeated the Lions 24-20.
Oakland continues to prove their playoff-worthiness. They beat the heavily favored Chargers on Sunday, by a margin of 15 points. Another underdog victory went to St. Louis, who beat the Arizona Cardinals. If the playoffs started today, the St. Louis Rams, against all odds, would be in.
The Cowboys managed to beat Indianapolis (I can't remember the last time they've played this bad), and New England picked apart the Jets' defense in a 45-13 win.
The Mighty Pack ran over the 49ers, leaving no doubt that they were the better team. Aaron Rodgers had a spectacular game. He was 21 of 30, with 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. Donald Driver also put on a show, and James Starks, an undrafted free agent, played surprisingly great.

2010 Basketball Season
The Lady Crusaders are 5-6, as of today. We have a long season ahead of us, but we have all the keys for a successful team.
We recently lost to ESM, the best team in our league. We played our best game, and I am very proud of our effort.
I've been having a lot of fun - probably the most fun basketball experience I've ever had.
GO CRUSADERS!
