2-1
Two guys. One cold night.
Sammyball and I started another year of Colorado Rapids soccer tonight. Bundled tight in snow pants, coats, hats, and boots, the excitement of a home opener win kept us warm and happy. Honestly, there wasn’t a big crowd, but most of the fans seemed to be glad to be at the game. Even the the chatty women from California and Texas who sat behind and next to us had fun. (Though I don’t know why they were actually at the game). They spent all but a minute or two talking talking about everything but soccer to actually notice anything but themselves.
Luckily, we managed to cope by quietly keeping to our own communication – giving and taking fives. And we actually managed to see all the goals (both good – us, and bad – them) despite the vendors stopping frequently, just between us and the pitch view, for no apparent reason other than to make us bob and weave to keep our blood flowing. It must have worked. We stayed warm.
2-1 Rapids. Great
Good Sammyball and Dad time. Perfect.

I’m so glad you have a special time with each one of the kids, sharing your passion and love of soccer. It’s a bonding time that will pay dividends in the future. It is even better when you can celebrate a win!
