This evening was my last soccer practice of the season. We play for the Division 1 Championship on Sunday and then we are off until the fall season begins in September. During competition I wear contact lenses but for practices I generally wear my glasses. While up for a header, a rather nice one at that, my glasses did not fare so well when I played a well struck ball off the side of my head. Play was suspended while the entire team combed the field looking for the detached temple which flew quite a distance from the crash site. Fortunately, I have a back up set of glasses and the damage looks like it can be repaired.

Note for my mother in anticipation of her next email:  No head damage was sustained by your son.
