During our visit to So Cal last weekend, we had bbq’d at my brothers place.  After the feast Andrew pulled out ye old Subbuteo game we used to play when we were young.  Not only did he still have the entire soccer set in pristine condition, but he still had our ancient tablecloth which we had used as the underlayer back then.   I think he believes some sudden middle-age fame will make all his stuff priceless.
    As for the game and how it played out…..although very rusty and requiring a quick refresher on the game, I was still able to pull out to a 1-0 lead by half time.   Jacob rubbed it in by telling his Dad not to take it so easy on me.   Andrew quickly tied it up at the start of the second half, I don’t quite recall the circumstances but I’m sure it involved luck.  Then with my Mom counting down the seconds left in regulation, Andrew scored with maybe only a tick of the clock left.
    Andrew was of course ecstatic with the result, but I say it is a bit premature since I have registered my official complaint with the league of both inaccurate time-keeping and questionable ball placement during the final goal.
