Soccer Saturday

JJ in uniform!

Here we are at yet another Saturday soccer game, watching a passel of sweaty little boys chase a ball up and down a field for an hour. Since every little kid in the county is playing under the D'ville Soccer League banner, the place is a real zoo from about 8 am to about 2 pm every Saturday, cars parked like sardines in the less-than-adequate sized lots. Little kids run around screaming and messing in the dirt while their siblings play. The adults socialize, the moms check each other out taking mental notes on who's married, who's divorced, who's ass is about to bust out of her jeans... (catty!) and the dads watch intently, half-wistful/half- alpha-dad, comparing their kids to the other players and to themselves at that age. It's a real sociology experiment, and behind my sunglasses, I don't believe people watching gets any better than this.

JE (after his game, which he had played earlier,) and Baby G watch Jon kick his way into soccer super-stardom.
And JA and his friend, trying to look studly for the crowd. This hat is beginning to annoy me.
