well, that's done

I completed my winemaking class this week.  I'm somewhat unhappy with my effort, but some of it was out of my hands.  Now i find myself with lots of time on my hands and nothing hanging over my head.

On Monday night, Crossfire lost to 4Fit 11-2.  The team, frankly, played lousily.  We jumped out to another quick lead and just crumbled once they tied.  One of the other team's girls kept shooting unopposed from half-distance, and after she finally got one in, i berated my defense, "How many times is she going to shoot before you stop her?"  The ref told me late in the game to stop yelling because it can be considered an effort to distract the opponent, even though i was clearly yelling (often and loudly) at my teammates to cover, to move, to form a wall on free kicks... anyway, i think part of it was that it was a 23:25 game and there was nobody there, so my yelling seemed louder in the empty arena.

That doesn't count. Are you going to make wine outside the class.

Actually, i didn't make any wine inside the class, as i took it from home. 2wanda, her mom and i have made wine from grapes (http://community.livejournal.com/wine_making/33890.html), plums, and peaches (separately); we also used tomatoes once, but that didn't work out so well (although it was quite interesting).

Hoppie wants to do that (tomato and other non-traditional fruit) wines.
