Although my knee recovered sufficiently to climb Kilimanjaro, it is still not strong enough to play soccer. Sunday mornings in the fall and spring are when I escape to enjoy a couple of hours of competition and camaraderie. This morning the air was crisp with the anticipation of fall and it felt very strange to be missing my game. On the positive side, it did afford me the opportunity to attend church with the family and later in the afternoon, Jeanine guided me on a bike ride through the hidden paths of Concord. It never ceases to amaze me how many secret places there are in our town and that Jeanine seems to know them all. We finish our ride at the high school where Maya is attending a soccer clinic.
