Another Soccer Weekend, and a Business Meeting

After another week of working hard at the car rental branch, I was at World Wide Technology Soccer Park (https://www.saintlouisfc.com/SOCCERPARK) Saturday night (22 September) for the Saint Louis FC (https://www.saintlouisfc.com/) match against San Antonio FC. I arrived in the parking lot for the St. Louligans (http://stlouligans.com/) tailgate, which featured Mexican food and music (the latter by a DJ). After enjoying two freshly made tacos and a beer, I joined the St. Louligans in marching into Toyota Stadium for the match.

The home side had the run of play, but it was two goals late in the match that made Saint Louis FC 2-0 winners. It was a big win for us, and that means we need only four points in the final three matches of the season to clinch a berth in the USL (https://www.uslsoccer.com/) playoffs. During the second half, I had two more tacos, this time from the Locoz Tacoz (https://twitter.com/LocozTacoz?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) truck at the atadium.

The next morning, I was back at World Wide Technology Soccer Park, this time to run line on two St. Louis Youth Soccer Association (https://www.slysa.org/) matches. They went very well, with no real issues.

I put in two full days of work at the car rental branch. After work yesterday (25 September), I headed to The Muddled Pig Gastropub (http://themuddledpig.com/) in Maplewood. There, Marion Morris hosted this month's IPMS/Gateway (https://sites.google.com/view/ipmsgatewaychapter/home) business meeting. After a bit of left over business from our Invitational earlier this month, we discussed proposals for improving club operations. There was good discussion by the board members in attendance, and good food. For me, it was their house burger, a can of 4 Hands Brewing Co. (http://4handsbrewery.com/) City Wide ale, and a shot of bourbon. I found it most satisfying.

By the way, this past weekend, I submitted my Member Spotlight article for IPMS/Gateway's website, where it now can be found: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aiMSumLlS2SFwGlXOCCXy3xhnEO3v8Dh/view

Off work today, I mowed the front and back lawns at home, did my laundry, and got my hair cut at Great Clips (https://www.greatclips.com/). I then treated myself to a beverage from Saint Louis Bread Co. (https://www.panerabread.com/en-us/home.html) and shopped for personal care items at Walgreens (https://www.walgreens.com/).

Later.
