Tough Loss

 
This morning I did a little work on Maya’s treehouse. Later in the afternoon I watched Nico’s soccer game. Despite his fine play, the team lost 2-1 in a very close match.

Kicking Around

 
Five minutes into my soccer game this morning I was kicked in the ankle (note the variety of unnatural colors). The free kick this earned was not worth the pain I suffered for the rest of the match or the potential impact on next week’s game. We played Lexington who beat us 5-1 on their field the last time we met. On our turf we were able to achieve a 1-1 draw. I had a number of nice break away opportunities but was fouled from behind on all but one. On my one chance, the goalie did a good job of cutting down the angle and my shot missed wide by inches. I redeemed myself five minutes later by setting up our only goal with a nice cross from the end line.
