Lilia has less than a month left of soccer. She loves to go. She loves her friends. She hasn't "got it" yet. She's a great runner. Runs back and forth. But doesn't touch the ball. Surprisingly, even though she is competitive, she doesn't fight for the ball. But she has her sights set on something bigger, like who can pick up the most orange cones at the end of the practice. She wins every time.
BIG game tonight -- Decatur Gators vs. Peninsula Seahawks. We were rebels. We sat on Peninsula's side of the field, even though we knew some Federal Way girls. Peninsula lost. They were outplayed. Hmmph, we raise some good local soccer players, eh?
By the end of the night we were frozen. The fall crispness and fog were here tonight. We felt it's presence on those cold bleachers. I welcome you.
