After working in the yard and the heat all morning and into the afternoon yesterday, I met Bill and Donovan Weber and Tom Thatcher at 4:00 p.m. to drive to Columbus and catch a professional soccer game pitting the Columbus Crew against the Chicago Fire.
The Crew prevailed 2-1 in an exciting game on a warm evening made pleasant by a prevailing cool breeze. It was a great night to be "out with the guys."

| The Hooligans were in a shouting/drumming/chanting match with a similar crowd of drum beaters from Chicago outside the stadium before the game started. Throughout the game they stir up the crowd from a section reserved just for them. |
A big attraction of the night was a post-game concert by an Irish Celtic rock band called Flogging Molly. We decided to stay for about 30 minutes of their 90-minute concert. It's the first time I've ever seen a live mosh pit. :-) Actually, Bill Weber and I both agreed we liked the band better than we thought we would.
But staying for the concert made it a late night. I got home after midnight, which meant I couldn't record yesterday's blog post yesterday.
