Soccer to Watch, Work to Do, and New Glasses

Last Saturday night (21 July) found me at World Wide Technology Soccer Park Fenton for the St. Louligans (http://stlouligans.com/) tailgate prior to the Saint Louis FC (https://www.saintlouisfc.com/) match against Orange County SC. We enjoyed bratwurst and beer before marching into Toyota Stadium for the match.


The match itself ended in a 2-2 draw. Orange County would score first, then Saint Louis equalized, then Orange County retook the lead before Saint Louis leveled it. Saint Louis FC is some points off from a playoff spot, and it won't be easy getting more soon: They are away to Reno 1868 FC tonight.


Work at the rental branch this week went well. A bit slow this week, due to lower inventory and demand. Still, we work hard to earn our customers' loyalty every day.

After work Tuesday night (24 July), I drove to Marion Morris' house in Maplewood for this month's IPMS/Gateway (http://www.ipms-gateway.com/) (https://www.facebook.com/IPMSGateway/) (https://plus.google.com/109625362829756697296) business meeting. (I originally came to Bill Wagner's house, until I realized that he was hosting next months' business meeting.) We discussed our upcoming Invitational model contest on 8 September, and some other club business. I posted notices on our contest on several area online events calendars this past week.

This morning, I drove to Crown Vision Center (https://crownvisioncenter.com/) in Concord Village to pick up my new glasses. This was made to the prescription written after my eye exam there on 18 July. They look and feel great, and are quite an improvement over the interim glasses I've worn the past few months. I celebrated these new glasses by walking to the nearby Saint Louis Bread Co. (https://www.panerabread.com/en-us/home.html) and treating myself to a caramel latte.


Relaxing at home now.

Later.
