This gorgeous fall day started with a 6:45AM rendezvous for carpooling to an away soccer match in Hopkinton. I had a great game serving up at least a dozen high quality crosses from my wing midfield position and earning an assist on our second of two goals. We won 2-0 and are now second in our leagues standings with an amazing 21 goal differential. Shortly after lunch Nico and I began a campus tour road trip. Our first destination was Amherst College which we reached in under two hours driving through beautiful fall foliage. We were both very impressed with the school and it is one which will likely make Nico’s short list. We continued on to Schenectady where we overnight-ed at my mother’s home after taking her out for a very nice dinner.
