What a Ride.. Literally.. I was just telling this story when I hit a key on the keyboard and lost all the information I had just spent 15 minutes writing.. the saga continues.

I will give the short version because I am too pissed to tell it all again.
I set a departure time of 1pm for a 4pm game. I mapquest Runston LA and it says 2hrs44mins.
at 12:15pm my wife calls and says the trip will take 4hrs and45mins and had we left 15 minutes ago we would have made the kickoff. Well I do not believe her and enter the Runston in mapquest and it confirms my earlier belief of just under 3hrs.. well this time I put in the field address and Holy Crap my wife is right.. I put in Runston and goofy Mapquest gave me FUNSTON .. are you kidding me! Well then we get to Center and the GARMIN that my wife has been telling me to trust for the last 2hrs are so .. says turn on TX7.. We had been arguing because I had a hard copy of the Mapquest to Ruston LA and there was no mention of TX7.. but I chose to listen to the GARMIN this time.. and presto I end up on a 2.25 hour tour of the back woods of LA behind every slow poke in the continental US.. single lanes and hills to boot.

Well we get to the game at the start of the 2nd half and Zuri is going on the field so I am some what relieved. It took just at 4hrs to get there.

She plays great at her new found defensive mid position.. winning the majority of our goal kicks and theirs as well.. Nice Job ZEE!  I found out today she played a record 64 minutes while I was traveling the scenic route of TX7... LA171...LA49 and finally I20..

hard fought game.. the box score tells me .. they LA tech dominated from a shots taken perspective.. but the final was a 1-1 draw.. a good result for what I saw.

Now the rest of the story.. I am still mad at the GARMIN for taking me down TX7.. so I am out to prove that I20 to 79 to 59 to 69 the reverse order would have been a faster choice and I might have caught a few more minutes of the first half if I had not listen to the stupid GARMIN..

Not! got home in the same time it took to get there just around 4hrs.. a good time for 277 miles.
Did I tell yall about the game or am I still ranting about me blowing the mapquest planning by 2hours!!! :o

Tomorrow we face Natalie Hagar and HBU at home at 1pm.. I think I have this mapquest covered. Dr Dave if you need a copy let me know.. and congrats on Natalie being honored offensive player of the week.  Good Stuff Nat!
