I wore my @washingtonspirit.com Rodman shirt to school today in anticipation of the @nwslsoccer.com championship tomorrow. One of my students noticed & got so excited. “Is that a women’s soccer shirt? None of my teachers wear women’s soccer stuff. That’s so cool!”
It was even cooler than she knew.

I started reading Grant Wahl’s “World Class” anthology. The book jacket talks about his travels around the world writing. I find it really fascinating that when you read “Nacogdoches”, you don’t need a player’s name; you immediately know who the story is about.

Daycare was closed this week, so the kids were home. We did our 2nd annual Disney World at home day with Magic Bands, character meet & greets, virtual rides, & popcorn & a parade. My daughter also filled out her own favorite character bracket; winner was not a surprise.

The Redwoods claim Ryland Rees off waivers. Not only do they add a two-time former All-Star to the defense that was part of an excellent faceoff unit with the Waterdogs, they add a veteran with championship experience that can potentially help the younger players.

6 years ago today I was in Dallas to cover the Rattlers-Cannons game as the fourth stop for my book, “Major League Life.” I interviewed team president Bill Goren, head coach Bill Warder, players Christian Carson-Banister, Bryce Wasserman, Jake Seau, Nick Seinfeld, and Donny Moss.

How about that? I guess the people at ESPN read my piece about Kavanagh and McAdorey. It is neat to see how far something you write can go, reaching people you didn't even know were looking.

In the wake of Chris Merle’s season-ending injury, Redwoods add SSDM depth by signing Carter Parlette. He played at Notre Dame with many California players. In the PLL, he played for the Cannons at this year’s Championship Series & was at training camp with the Chaos.

I’ve been looking for a new Ben & Jerry’s flavor since I haven’t seen the cinnamon bun one in ages. I had Dirt Cake for the first time tonight, and let me tell you, we have a winner! That first spoon of chocolate ganache, cookie crumble, & ice cream? Chef’s kiss!

Turned on the @wlacrosseleague while my daughter sat on my lap. In a mix of surprise and excitement, she said, “Daddy, are those girls playing?”
Moments like this matter, and hopefully, there are more to come. Cheers!
