Kaze did it. We actually did it. We took 2nd in the Central Region, going 5-1, behind the Carleton Alumni squad. We're going to Nationals. We're going to Sarasota on Halloween. We made it to Nationals. I'm still a little in shock, not quite fully comprehending this new fact in my life. It's good. Friday Leah and I did laundry, made some cookies, watched Bend It Like Beckham. Saturday Kaze won our pool, beating Flaming Moe by a mere 1 point. We then lost to Carleton by 1 in the semis. Dinner was Rock Bottom, listening and watching the Cubs win. Sunday was Sally's Birthday, and Kaze matching up against Chad Larson, to whom we've lost twice before, and this time we came out on top, by a couple. Then we got to face Hot Action, in our first and only meeting of the season, after they lost to Carleton in the 1st place game. We beat them by 3 to take the 2nd spot and our first trip to Nationals. Crazy. Absolutely crazy. For most of Kaze it's our first trip ever, with any team. And we celebrated with a Kaze party at Bryan, Tony, and Carlo's with Mantonios and football, and a pop culture showdown between CBR and KK. Entertaining and fun. And we're going to Nationals.
