Why the picture of deep fried steak you may ask ? Well a friend of mine, ( referred to as ' Pretty ' in the ongoing ) enjoyed such a delicacy within this last week for his lunchtime fare. Makes me weepy, just thinking about it.... anyhow-
Where to start in this week..... hmmmmm..... work continues to be frustrating at it's best; life at home- pretty ok.... my youngest started socer yesterday, and scored her first goal !! Likewise, her twin brother was in the local newspaper this morning for advances being made in treatment at the local Easter Seals !!! Yea Jay !! My oldest returned to soccer, and did pretty ok..... I think she's going to be more of a softball player than a soccer star. The Mountaineers won, which was to be expected... the Browns kick off next week, and the Pirates continue to break my heart.... all in all, time was well spent....
My wife and I were talking, and suprisingly- we both noticed a difference between the soccer parents, and the softball parents.... how so ? In softball, all the parents sat together, despite affiliation..... not as much in soccer ( at least so far ... ). In my oldest's practice, definite ' grouping'. Even between folks who lived in the same part of town..... in my youngest's..... no doubt about it, we were the new kids in the school.... seems not easily integrated.... makes me wonder about the differences in popularity of the 2 sports in my area.... guess what I'm saying- if the parents aren't comfortable, how can we expect the kids to be so ? OR- do well in the sport ? Maybe it's me... maybe it's where I live.... but- there is a difference.
I actually invited someone to this ' blog '..... this is HUGE for me.... anyone that knows me, knows trust is not something that's easy for me to do.... my first invitee has paid their dues, and I cannot think of anyone else that would be able to process the lunacy that sometimes spills out.... so- welcome my friend. Remember, we don't judge- ok ?
Ok.... peace out to the hippies.....
