Cassie's Journal - November 9, 2012

Congratulations, Amy and Jared!

They don’t know what I’m congratulating them for yet, but they will soon enough; and I think that they are going to be awesome parents!

That was the top story for Witch Falls today; though Mom was the only person I passed the news on to; and she’s only given the heads up for this to Uncle Adam and Aunt Deborah.  I would have done that too, but Rowen and I are doing a sleepover at her house tonight; so I was only home for the after-school snack before packing a bag and heading out for the night.

Other than finding out that Amy’s pregnant, there isn’t much to report for school today.  Oh wait, that’s coming from the perspective of a non-football fanatic.  For the football players and their fans, today was all about the final regular season game tonight.  This will be shocking, but Rowen and I actually wandered over to the school for a while to watch part of the game; mostly because Owen took Patrick and Scott there while Patricia stayed at the store until closing time.

Our team played against division rivals, Pinehurst; and needed the win to earn first place in our division.  It was probably one of the toughest matches of the season so far, but Kyle Landry was again the difference-maker; and it was the points off of defense that helped our team win by a score of fifty-eight to thirty.  The Ridge River Raiders ended the regular season with an eight and two record, and won all five of their division matches.

The good news is that they’re headed for the playoffs!  Bad news is that high school football is not done for the year yet in Witch Falls.

For tonight, Rowen and I should thank our school team.  Their win has Patrick and Scott fired up; and the two boys have been so focused on football that they’ve pretty much forgotten to bug us all night.  They stayed at the game until it was over, while Rowen and I left the game at half-time and eventually went to hang out with her Mom at the store after going for a long walk first.  Patrick and Scott have been having a video football competition since getting home, and Rowen and I have been hanging out in her room and playing on our computers mostly in peace.

Rowen’s not exactly peaceful tonight, and while that isn’t because of little brother and sidekick trouble; it is boy-related.  Leaving the game and going for that long walk was boy-related too, and while his identity still won’t be revealed anytime soon in these journals, I did help cheer Rowen up by giving him a pseudonym.

Tommy Walker.

Yes, the classic rock opera was way before my time, but that little tidbit ended up in my photographic memory; and Rowen thought that it was hilarious when I explained to her that Tommy was the ‘deaf, dumb, and blind kid’ character that eventually found enlightenment.  We both thought that the YouTube clips were weird, and while this will end up being an inside joke that we’ll keep between us; I think Rowen liked the suggestion that her ‘Tommy’ would eventually come to his senses too.

By the time I open this journal up for you, and other Magi, to read it, Rowen; you’ll know the answer to that!

That’s about it for today.  Rowen and I are going to get some sleep now, partly because we’ll both be busy tomorrow, and mostly because it sounds like Patrick and Scott are being ordered to shut down the football competition and go to bed.  We should probably a least be pretending to be asleep before they decide that there’s still some pranking opportunities tonight.  This has been such a good day; we really shouldn’t end it like that, so...

...say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.

“Goodnight, Cassie.”
