Meet William Steven Skinner, my niece’s new son. He was born on Friday in Louisville, Kentucky to parents Erica and Nick. Some of you may recall that I was the photographer at their wedding in October of 2010.

My spring soccer season opened today with a match in Newton against the Jacques Paoli Football Club. Our preseason preparation paid off and we cruised to a 5-0 victory. I played well and despite a major collision with the opposing goalie stepped off the pitch uninjured.
