The Catonsville Stars defeated the Elicott City Patriots yesterday, 26-24, in a wild game in Elkridge. This was one of the most exciting games we've been to so far. The first half was pretty listless, with neither team getting very far. However, some individual efforts put the Stars up 12 to 0 at half time. The second half was a completely different story. The Patriots returned to the field determined to score and by the fourth quarter were ahead of the Stars 14 to 12. Then, in the fourth quarter, everything went nuts. The Stars really turned it on and started blocking and playing hard. The Patriots scored again, putting them further ahead 22 to 12. Then, on the kick-off one of the Stars ran it back for the touchdown, bringing them closer, 19 to 22. The Patriots were able to kick a field goal (only 2 points in little league) making their lead 24 to 19. But, the Stars got the ball back and in the final seconds of the game, scored another touchdown and extra point, to get the win, 26-24.
Like I said, this was one of the best games so far. The parents were going wild and they boys were having a great time. This is when kids' sports is so much more fun and meaningful than watching NFL on TV.
Lacey and I watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall this weekend. It was pretty good. Not completely hilarious like 40 Year Old Virgin or Knocked Up, but it was enjoyable. Worth a look.

Go Stars!
Jay's football team defeated the Elkridge Hurricanes 18 to 0 last Saturday. They are now 3 and 1 on the season and getting better with each game. Jay's been playing on the offensive line mostly, but got to run the ball a few times in this past game. He says he will be doing that more often. This Saturday's game is against Damascus. Here's some pictures.
Jay (number 83) on the line.
Blocking for the runner.
"Yeah, get some, chump!"
Not Jay, but check out this tackle.
Worst. Kick-off. Ever.
Jay's in the backfield.
Running with the ball (he only got a few yards, but that's ok.)
Throwing blocks.

Lazy Saturday
So, today was a complete wash-out. We slept late and haven't really done anything all day. The grass needs mowing, but it's still kinda hot to deal with it.
It's been a busy week. Last night, Jay had a scrimmage against a team from Columbia. They won (I think), but nobody was really keeping score. Our team looked pretty good. Jay was doing a good job as a lineman. I have to admit being somewhat surprised. Last year, he wasn't all that great at blocking when he played wide receiver. He's much improved. Their first real game is next Saturday.
Work was busy all week. And, we had things to do in the evening, so we didn't get to do much this week. I took the kids up to the school on Thursday to meet their teachers and things like that. They were both nervous and didn't talk much. The kids, not the teachers. The teachers seem nice.
Ummm, movies. In the past week, we've watched Stop-Loss and Be Kind Rewind. Both had interesting parts, but weren't all that great overall. It looks like we won't be seeing the Clone Wars in theaters. Nothing I've read has made me want to go see it and Jay seems to have forgotten about it.
So, as I mentioned last time. We went out for Lacey's birthday last weekend. It was a pretty good time. The hotel was neat, with a very different decorating motif. We went to the Palace of Wonders and saw the Gilded Lilly Burlesque troop. These ladies are from Baltimore. I thought they were very good. We've seen groups from both New York and Philadelphia, and I thought our local girls were better than both. They had very creative routines, most of them seemed to have actual dance training, and were quite sexy. I highly recommend seeing them whenever they perform. It's worth it just to see Sable Sin Cyr.

Odds and Ends
Lacey and I watched The Bank Job over the weekend. It was by no means perfect, but it was entertaining. I think the London in the 70's setting gives it a good feel.
Jay has his first football scrimmage tomorrow against Bowie. Go Stars!!
Star Wars - The Clone Wars comes out today. Apparently, it sucks. Of course, now I have to decide if I should listen to the reviewers and see it and make up my own mind.
We're going out for Lacey's 30th birthday this weekend. Here's the agenda: See the Gilded Lilly Burlesque troop at The Palace of Wonders in DC. Get down with our bad selves at the Black Cat. Then retire to our room at this cool hotel. Hopefully, Lacey won't throw up this time.
