6:38 a.m. - We survived yesterday. It was still a great day because I was around basketball, around my friends, and we made a little cash. The first game of the day, though, was a shit-show. And when you have the worst two teams of a tournament playing a game after they are tired - mentally and physically - it's typically going to be a shit-show. I'd like to be able to explain that we officials can make a 7th-8th place game prettier, but it's just impossible. And I'm not faulting the effort of the players or the coaches; they give a great effort, sometimes trying too hard. The result is just a mess. The evening game wasn't a whole lot better in terms of being a mess. The teams were more skilled, but Orion was out of sorts after losing the semi-final on Monday and then being without their starting point guard.
Today I'm waking up to what hopefully will be a simple, quiet day. I just want to relax. I have some things I'd like to get done, but I'd like to get them done at my place while also enjoying the day as well. I'd like to get to mom and dad's and pay them a visit and help mom with some barn things. I'd like to get the hot tub set up. I'd also like to get the door handles in the HHR fixed. I really don't care about partying and going crazy on New Year's Eve. I may go ahead and have a couple beers I've had saved over the holidays, but staying home will suit me just fine.
In other news, while we were officiating last night, Illinois won its football bowl game by beating Tennessee. That's a huge win!
