Something not political

With swim season over (and that season overlapped heavily with baseball season), we’re now gearing up for soccer season.  For the next three weeks, one child or another will be in soccer camp — and that’s before the real season even gets started.  I’m already tired.

Coincidentally, I got contacted today by an “all soccer all the time site” — Live Soccer — Watch Live Free Football TV Online –which was looking for reciprocal links (and the preceding was that link, of course).  I may be a political blog, but I’m also a soccer mom, and may actually get the kids tuned into that site to look at real soccer players.  They’ve played for years, but as far as I know, they’ve never seen a pro game.

Watching the pros might jazz me up too because, for the first time, I approach the season with a certain amount of weariness, rather than my usual excitement.  I think it’s because we switched leagues.  I suspect that this league will be better for the children, but not as good for me.  I knew lots of parents in the old league and will have to start all over again here.  Also, to the extent I’ve already met some of these parents through school, we haven’t quite clicked.  (Long story there and, I’m thankful to say, it doesn’t reflect badly on me, personally.  It’s just a community dynamic.)

As you know, I’ll keep you posted.
