Soccer season started today. New team, new city, new outcome. We won 5-1. Game was cold. Like playing in high school in New York, in October. Lots of fun.

I was in goal and the only goal for the other team came off a penalty kick. Though to be fair the goal total was more due to the very efficient and skilled play of the defense. It's clear this team is in another league, no pun intended, when compared to my teams last year. Those teams were good and fun, but this team actually plays like a team. Players passing the ball, playing uselfishly, and generally having a better undertanding of the game.

The team name is Hangover Blues (also would be a great band name). We play Sunday afternoons at 4:45 at Burns Park in North Little Rock - Fields 13 or 14.

Please come and watch (though it's okay to wait for a little more warm air). Jess was out there this evening and her dad, Perry, came to watch us in the cold. Very nice.

Also, a quick thanks to Tom (aka Tweedler) for inviting me to play.
