We finished the year with Flag Football. We competed in a total of 9 games and finished 6-3. We lost only to the two top teams. We ranked tied for third place. I had a lot of fun playing and the team has mentioned wanting to compete together again. I also got to referee in the league as well. It was a great learning experience on how to make quick calls and to try to stay fair at all times. I really enjoyed that too.
Last week during Flag Football, it was mentioned that many players in the league would like to see a 30 and older league separate from the current league. Basically, they want to break it up so they can stop being pummeled by the 'kids' in the league (18+ league). My first reaction was 'I don't know if we will find enough 18-29 year olds who want to play to have a league.' I got sad because I am enjoying playing, and I didn't want to be left out. My next thought was 'Oh my gosh, I will be 30 next season.' I felt that deep sense sadness of being included with the 'old guys' gives you. I smiled and laughed at myself though. I can't believe I will be thirty soon!
