Our flight to Columbus Thursday night was easy. Security wasn’t an issue, and there were no problems with the plane. Boy, it’s nice having a direct flight.
Lance’s brother, Kevin, picked us up immediately, and we went back to his place for a relaxing evening of goofing off on the computer and watching 30 Rock. Kev was gracious enough to let us sleep on his new memory foam bed. I might have to get me one of those! It was like sleeping in clouds. He was a great host.
Got up early and headed to Cincinnati to the tournament site. I have to say, it’s kind of a sad little tournament. The Raleigh sectional tournament might be bigger than this regional tournament. (Tournament sizes are thus: club, sectional, regional, national.)
We entered as a team-of-four into the morning knockout event, and lost twice. I blame one of those losses squarely on myself. But in our afternoon knockout we advanced. Yay! At least we’ve won something.
