Summer's almost over & it feels like I didn't do anything
Spent all of July busy with Youth Rugby, and when I didn't have that, there was something else going on.
The Kids did rather well in the end of season tournament. They had a tendency to complain if things were not going their way that the "ref had it out for them", or "they cheated". I guess it is part of growing up in the 'Hood. But after the last game for them in the tournament, I heard one of them actually say that the other team had been better, and that our kids had played the best they could. it was much better than what I was used to hearing after a loss. Hopefully next year we can continue to build from where we started this year.
We had fun at Shoreleave, but we both agreed that unless it is someone we are Dying to see, we'll be passing on Shoreleave. It was ok this year, but it gets so crowded and it's just starting to feel too big to me.
I have a Rugby Tournament out in Delaware next weekend. I just hope my knee can hold out. It's been doing ok at practice, but every once in a while, it'll twinge. I'll post after I get back and let you all know how it went.
we still have to visit some of the people who missed the Luau, so still have may weekends of stuff to do. never seems like we have enough time to do all that we want to do.
