The flock of birds circled overhead.  A bushy tailed squirrel ran across the power lines.  Neither Hot Wheelz or I said a word to each other.  We pulled into the GAP’s driveway at exactly 6:30 a.m.  She met us at … Continue reading →

I took an hour out of my day on Saturday to go to the Worm’s soccer game.  The game was just starting when I arrived and she was “in.”  When the coach asked, “Who’s ready to go out for a … Continue reading →

Two and Oh, Dear

The Worm had never scored a goal before, or for that matter, even been close.  She played for the social aspect.  Probably with the same attitude that Cheezy had played football.  He wanted to run through the paper.  You know … Continue reading →

Bring out your lawn chairs, your cameras, and your Ziploc bags of half-time orange quarters .  It’s soccer season.  The Worm is giving it another shot. I made it to her game this past weekend, a few minutes late, by … Continue reading →

Optimistically slanted

Yesterday I went to the ophthalmologist.  She had discovered a rare form of quick on-set glaucoma.  A simple procedure would prevent blindness.  “Will it hurt?” I asked. “Just a little flick that feels like a rubberband against the back of your … Continue reading →

Dangerous sports
