Lightning delay

First game of the season last night and Mother Nature wasn't ready for it to start. A two hour lightning delay before the opening kick kept me awake much later than I wanted. In Georgia, they must wait 30 minutes after the last lightning strike before the players go out on the field, then a 30 minute warm up before the game. We thought all quieted down when 26 minutes after what we thought was the last strike, a bolt hits behind the visiting stands. Argh! The 7:00 kickoff happened at 9:00.

The refs last night did a great job keeping the kids safe and keeping the pressbox informed. But now I get to do another game tonight on five hours sleep. Where's the coffee?
