For the first time ever, we brought home medals! We have won little/fun tournaments here and there, but this is the highest we've placed in a competitive tournament. Our team was a lot of fun to play with, and it was also great playing a few teams with familiar opponents.
The tournament took place in Coolangata, the only city that I know of to have the border between two states running right through it (you can see on the map). The weird thing is, Queensland doesn't use daylight savings and New South Wales does. So, if you have a business meeting somewhere in the city, you have to double check what time zone it's in so you're not an hour late or an hour early. You can literally celebrate New Year's Eve in on venue, and then walk across the street an hour later and celebrate again.
In other non-celebratory news, we received the unfortunate phone call this weekend that Michael's grandmother passed away. She was in her 90's and we were expecting this news due to recent health issues. It was another instance here where we wish we could teleport back to be with family. In any case, Grandma Jean had a full life and is survived by four generations of family that will remember her fondly.
It was a weekend of mixed feelings, and now we plunge headfirst back into another work week.
