Here’s Ph.’s soccer schedule for the fall.  I suppose I might be read as
a doting fan-father, the type who hyper-celebrates all things to do with sport
at the expense other stuff (such as reading, the arts…).  Yeah, whatever. 
Ph.’s been playing soccer since he was four; I am a fan.  The first
scrimmage was this afternoon.  Afterward we grabbed a quick-cook dinner
from Price Chopper, hurried home to put it together, then picked up D. from
class so we could all attend the two-hour family orientation at NHS.  Only
this time I was thoroughly impressed with the staff, the student tour-guides,
the presence and involvement of teachers, administrators and the principal.  High school…wow. Came on fast.
