NYO All Day All Night, Mary Anne....

Don't know what put that old song in my head...we started early and went late...all the events are done and this morning we are awaiting breakfast and the awards ceremony. The weather in Bethel is foggy right now, and I don't know what flight statuses will look like as the day goes on. We are supposed to get picked up at about noon, but that may be comfortably regarded as carved in Jello. One of our number is just confirming flight details for his flight. He is an itinerant social worker who sort of washed up here and got to enjoy his first NYO tournament. OK, he didn't exactly wash up...he sort of fell in by plane.

Some of the kids are starting to stir with their towels 'n' toothbrushes right now...they were very excited last night after the event, setting up an impromptu ten-on-ten (approximate numbers) half court game, with boys on one end and girls on the other. The girls game was on the entrance end of the gym, so that was the game into which I wandered. Rough and tumble, no fouls...it looked like fun, but I would have been afraid to step in with that bunch. In all seriousness, the kids were very well behaved. A lovely bunch.

Word is that Bethel flight operations are on hold this morning. No huge surprise there. The weather site indicates ice fog in the area. I have homework and 17 books on the Kindle. I will keep occupied somehow...
