Saturday, Adam’s high school football team played for the Catholic League Championship. They played at Ford Field, the home of the Detroit Lions. It was my and Arianna’s first time there, but the boys have been there before with a friend for a Lions game.
   The game was hard fought for three quarters, until DeLaSalle broke the tie with a timely touchdown, and a minute or so later, on our next possession, intercepted a pass for a touchdown. We lost 14-28.
   This was Adam’s first time marching on a pro-football field in a pro stadium, so I was very excited for him. I remember marching into Texas stadium in Austin for the state finals many years ago, and just about falling over at the size of the stands. Adam said it was pretty hard to hear themselves with the size of the place and the echoes. But we had a good time.
