The Discontent of Winter

This has been an incredibly difficult winter.

Wil signed on for wrestling because everyone said he would love it. Well, wrestling was fun but . . . he got injured early on and couldn't train/wrestle. Then, when he could train, you had to win a wrestle off in order to compete - and he never won a wrestle off - therefore he never got to compete. He was always in doors and the yippee dogs continued to get under Wil's skin compounding the frustration and difficulties.

You add to that, that there was no leave in February and you have one pretty tired, sad cadet.

The redeeming moment came as he yet again made the honor roll. Yea Wil!
