Down the homestretch with Paco, Emma's exhausted. I figure if I can give her time to rest and be unencumbered with a maniacal munchkin for a few hours, everyone wins...especially when I can start introducing Tilly to some sports, to real role models (college women athletes), etc.
We went over to the Gopher women's soccer game, and she loved it. The lights went out with about 15 minutes left in the game, so that was fascinating to her. She also loved Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline, and was being very coy with Goldy Gopher. Oh, by the way, she spontaneously told me on the way home that she knows his name is Goldy Gopher, but that she thinks he should go by Badass Gopher. (My bad).
The play Saturday with her cousins was ok...not that great of a production, but always nice to see each other. The Gopher football game later Saturday night was awesome. It was the first time in TCF Bank Stadium for either of us. Compared with what it felt like as a student in 1990 to have to go to a game in the Dome...well, there was no comparison.
I am newly hooked for the first time on Gophers football. I just hope Jerry Kill is building something worth following. It sure seems like he is.
