My "Grand Final" day

There were little triumphs and bitter disappoints, fights and reconciliations, joy and tears and at the end, the realization that it will all happen again.
I'm hoping a family meeting tomorrow -- when JILL and ANNIKA arrive home from an out-of-town trip -- will help solve whatever problems KERSTIN and I experienced today.
On the field, COLLINGWOOD and ST. KILDA must wait a week to resolve their remaining differences.
I'm so thankful Jill talked me into taping this match on our DVR. It was a true classic.
St. Kilda's Lenny Harris scored a late, fourth-quarter behind (the one-point scoring play in Aussie Rules) and to make the result Collingwood, nine goals (worth six points), 14 behinds, to the Saints' 10 and 8 -- with both sides finishing in 68 points.
The AFL doesn't have an extra-time rule, so the result was only the third draw in the league's history of grand finals.
Collingwood dominated the first half, but the Magpies only boasted a 24-point lead for all their good play. St. Kilda spent the second half chipping away and ultimately eradicating the Magpies' lead.
It seemed like a lot like life. Or, at least my life, on a day like today.
