Well, my life is never boring.

I get home last night, and there's a message for me from the sports editor of the Youngstown (Ohio) Vindicator. (I bet this never happens to you.)

Anyway, I had left my contact information at SportsJournalists.com in case someone needed a game covered or a story written in upstate New York.

This guy needs tonight's Mahoning Valley Thunder at Albany Firebirds game covered.

This is afl2. Not only is it indoor football, it's minor-league indoor football. And get this, the "major league" indoor football league -- the Arena Football League -- is on hiatus for a season.

Oh, and the teams are a combined 1-9, and Mahoning Valley's only win is over, you guessed it, Albany.

But he's going to pay pretty well for a single-game story, and it's OK with [livejournal.com profile] alethea_eastriding.

It's too bad, though, because there's Professional Bull Riding at the Glens Falls Civic Center tonight.

Indoor football, by the way, is played on a hockey-rink sized field, and, yes, you can slam guys into the boards. The scores are usually something like 73-45.

I have been to one game, I think it was in Albany a while ago, but I have never covered one.

Life just gets more and more fascinating.

I am sorry about the non-Liam posts. I am a little distractable today, and I cannot focus on seven items.

Anyway, [livejournal.com profile] alethea_eastrid gets home after a very long day/week and finds hot Shepherd's Pie in the oven and brownies cooling on the counter. I made her tea and everything.

The Shepherd's Pie was three layers -- ground beef with onions and garlic, frozen mixed vegetables and a can of corn, and potatoes maskhed with butter, milk, sharp Cheddar cheese and some garlic.

I had planned for dinner tonight, but because we are going to Albany, I think we will get cheap German food down there.

I was going to make a pork roast in honor of pigs flying ("Swine flu"). The plan was to use hard cider, apples and apple sausage, and make a pot roast. Maybe tomorrow.
