Ultimate: Santa Barbara Qualifiers 2009

This batch of silly high schoolers placed far ahead of most of the other (collegiate) teams at the tourney this weekend. I've never seen the teams more "gelled" and happier to be together. It was hard NOT to be happy, with the weather in the 70's and the sun on full strength, surrounded by lovely young people passionate about a great sport.

They get to play AGAIN this weekend, but locally, in Berkeley. How cool is that? No scheduled games for months, and then two weekends in a row.

The Science Fair projects are DONE (pictures after the fair on Wednesday), the recital is over, the various crises are winding down (except for the phantom accident, which turned out to be real and very very complicated, but potentially resolvable). School starts a week from Wednesday for me, and I finally have my schedule in hand.

The weather has turned, and although the September-like weather in January is a little bizarre, I can't complain too much. Things are looking up.
