Lavabo Bowl reflections
Today was the annual flag football game between the Seabury Saints and the Nashotah House Black Monks...
Rain this morning, and lots of it-- Worship started late, because the weather delayed our guests' arrival.
Rite I liturgy, presided over by the newest member of our faculty. Chanting the psalm, and suddenly, unaccountably nervous as I did so.
Walking to the field, blessed by AKMA-- with Dave making grand, full circles with the censor ahead of him-- and beginning to play, in the pouring rain. Fortunately that ended about halftime.
Lost the game by one point: 22-21. Sorry, Ref; but you'd have been proud of the way the team played. I was. They made a few lovely plays, even to my untutored eyes; and set a generally high standard for sportsmanlike behavior when calls were blown or the competition had an... inappropriate moment or two.
Crowded lunch, with lots of good food. Then home-- and now a nap.

"...inappropriate moment or two"
That doesn't cover it. What I saw today was one of the worst examples of unsportsmanlike conduct that I have ever seen on the intramural field...and I played fraternity ball. It's a great commentary when two fraternities play with better conduct and more respect for one another than two seminaries.
