Yesterday the four of us were picked up by GrandDad, Ted, and Bob for a drive out to Athens to see Grant play Ultimate Frisbee. It was sunny and hot when we got there.

Grant and his team were already dirty from their first game which they won. We got to watch UGA win in their second match. It rained off and on. Kathy and I enjoyed sharing an umbrella with Bob.

We then watched the “Freaks of Nature” from Huntsville, Alabama, whup up on another team. That led to Grant’s final match of the day. UGA against the Freaks. It was a good game, but UGA lost 13 to 10. The main difference was this tall guy. I told Grant that he should get a tall guy. Ted explained that ultimate teams liked to have tall guys, but tall guys were busy playing basketball. If there is ever any money in it, he went on, then the tall guys will start playing ultimate.

Danny was confused by the champion team from Florida. They had won the tournament 2 out of the last 3 years. They all wore sun dresses.

Nicole and Danny began their own “save the earth” campaign in the trees behind our seats. They collected bottles and cans to dispose in a nearby wastebasket.

The UGA team enjoyed having the noisy bunch of us there. They don’t usually have a crowd. Bob proved to be a champion rabble rouser. But the group did well on such rabbles as “Goooooo Whiner! Wah Wah Wah!” and “Give me a Wah! (Wah!) Give me another Wah! (Wah!) Whattayah got? (Wah! Wah!)”

Grant’s nickname on the team is “whiner.”

Afterward, Dad treated us to a fine dinner at the Varsity. Chilli burgers, PC’s, and onion rings were popular among the hungry, damp, somewhat muddy fans.
