This evening, my soccer team had its end of the season banquet. The evening begins with great formality at Serafina’s and ends in drunken debauchery at Erik’s house. Tradition demands that coat and tie are worn until the first toast has been made to the Queen of England. Rob, our keeper and team manger, announced my decision to join the over 50 club next season and went on to honor me with some very kind words and stories about my four years with the club. Many others chimed in. Not since my decision to leave Truevision have I ever felt so appreciated by a group of friends.
