Yes, I'm still here.
OK, so I have been remiss on posting for the last while. No posts in the last month... shameful, I know. But I've been busy.
Busy with what? Largely, work. Which is not interesting to write about, unfortunately. I'll just say I've had plenty to do at the office and don't feel like sitting down to do some writing at home. Kind of a lame excuse, but there it is.
What else...? Well, I have been keeping up with ultimate, no surprise. League wrapped up shortly after Nationals with Trogdor finishing a respectable 3rd place in Monday A. And also right after Nationals, I started practicing with the Men's team, General Strike, who had been largely dormant all season but revived for the UPA fall series. I ended up making the roster and we've already played our Sectionals tournament, which took place a few weekends ago in Maple Plain, MN, just west of the Twin Cities. I don't feel like doing a full writeup so I'll just post a link to the scores if you're interested:

The scores pretty much tell the story... we finished third by beating DingWop in the game to go, second time we faced them on Sunday. Losses were first day against Sub Zero (no surprise) and a double-game point loss against Madison... I don't think Strike has ever beaten Madison, at least not recently, but the loss was hard to take. Especially since Madison (and their badger state bretheren, Wisconsin Hops) were, to put it diplomatically, a very unpleasant team to play against. Also had a bunch of easy wins against lesser teams, and a satisfying victory over Liquid Assets. Net result is that we qualified for Regionals, which is happening this weekend in Naperville, Illinois. I'll post something following that... and if anything else interesting happens in my life. Watch this space.
