Losers Lunch

We have had a tradition here for many years called the Losers Lunch. It only happens during football season and we always go to the same pizza place - Frank and Angies. We used to have the same waiter - Daniel - until he went to work somewhere else. It all started when we realized that each of us, we were IT Directors at the time, supported a different football team. I am a Redskin fan, Jeff was a Cowboy fan, Bill and Dave both supported the Giants and Doug rooted for the Bengals. Whenever our teams played each other the winner got treated to lunch by the loser and the loser had to wear the winning team's jersey all morning through lunch. This made for some very amusing morning meetings and walks to lunch! The group has changed somewhat, but those of us who are still in Austin continue this tradition. Yesterday we "celebrated" the Giant's win over the Redskins (see, I have a lousy Eli Manning jersey on) and the recent Redskins win over the Cowboys (David B is wearing my Santana Moss jersey).

We had the late softball game last night, 9:15. It was a beautiful night for softball, just a really late one. And we won. And, I scored more runs last night than I had in probably in the entire previous 2 years. I don't know how, other than the game was fast-paced and sometimes each of us would be up twice in an inning. The scoreboard wasn't lit so we had no idea what the score was, other than we won. Then we hung around for awhile and watched a game that started at 10:15. I am really looking forward to a couch potato evening of just watching the debates tonight.
