L.A. Crosse
First lacrosse event of the spring drew us out to the NHS fields late this afternoon. Ph.'s team--in the white jerseys (he's no. 3, mid-pile here)--lost the scrimmage, 7-6. I'm not always sure what's going on out there: several faintly familiar rules rolled into one--slashing, penalty boxes, face-offs, out-of-bounds, spacing and ball reversal. Really I have no clue. But Ph. insists that it's fun, and he managed to net a goal this afternoon, so I guess that's notable. I put a few other pics in a slideshow for you diehards.
Added: Just learned over dinner that Ph. went without wearing the sports goggles or glasses he needs to...erm...see the ball clearly.

I don't know why, but that picture sort of reminds me of the pope's funeral proceedings.
