Bruce thinks Xander should get center stage on the blog today for his awesome playing today, but I'm sticking with my original plans of a glimpse at the sidelines.

If I don't look cold and miserable, I'm a good actress. If it's warm it's pelting rain on us. If it's not raining it's blowing frigid wind at us. The boys don't care what the weather is, it's the parents who are uncomfortable. We need a big golf umbrella like everyone else has.

Anyway, Xander has been resisting wearing a coat or sweatshirt to keep warm when he is not on the field. Bruce said that he could stop wearing it if he scored a goal. He got assigned to offense, and he went out and scored TWO goals! Well, three, really, but that one was from out of bounds. Way to go!

“Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall.” Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Yeah, Xander! That's a cute picture of you, by the way.

Good for him and I know exactly what you mean about freezing on the sidelines!
