Lacrosse.
House was sitting on the end of their bed, in a towel, looking at the folded piles of clothes on the floor by the closet. Clothes he'd picked up the day before. Clothes he was going to put on now. He was supposed to meet up with some guys to play a game, informal of course, of lacrosse, at one of the fields of the complex at the university. Of course they were going to let some old guy play with them.
He got up, and pulled on his briefs, struggled for a minute with the whole concept of wearing a cup again, then pulled on a pair of loose fitting shorts. Then a pair of long socks and a plain white, tight-fit t-shirt that was snug against his skin.
He had the rest of the gear in a duffel bag. Helmet, shin guards, chest armor, mouthguard, cleats. He was good to go. He stepped into some flip-flop sandals and went out to go find his wife, who had told him she was getting their son ready to go out for the game.
Three weeks old. This was really the first time they'd taken him out for anything. It would be fun.
