Bad is the New Good

Last weekend was a combination of bad and good.
Uncle Gary, Rich's uncle from Florida, orchestrated an elaborate plan to surprise us at Chad's football game Friday night, that was good.
We got to meet Uncle Gary's long-time friend Pam, that was good.
It was pouring rain at the game, that was bad.
Chad kicked a 40 yard field goal, in the rain, had 6 touchbacks, and punted a 54 yard punt, that was good.
Chad got pulled from quarterback for the second half of the game, I know I'm prejudiced, but he was doing just fine, that was bad.
Lauren totalled her car, hitting a 15-passenger van in the back, that was bad.
She and the other driver weren't hurt, that was good.
Uncle Gary happened to be sitting in the school parking lot watching the whole thing unfold, with Rich coming there to be with her, and got to witness what a good dad Rich is, that was good.
We got to have a heart to heart talk with Lauren about her future, what to do about a car, school, and what the next steps are for her, that was great.
