I think that anything would be ok after snapping an achilles! OUCH! Many years ago, the summer after college, I played in with some folks after work once a week, trying to delay getting too out of shape. I had a little incident with keeper, he blocked my shot, but it came back towards me. I thought I should try again, he thought he should jump on it. He magaged to stop the ball mt lower leg dead, the rest of me kept going, and there was an awful tearing sound. I don't know what I yelled! I've got a couple great scars to show for it, though! And a knee that's never been quite right.
S14 seems to be enjoying football, looks like he is going to be a wide receiver. He might be good at it. S11 has just started his club soccer practice, and it really sounds like he is learing now. I guess he's finally at the age where it isn't comet-ball anymore!
It is a little warm here! The district I'm in used to go year-round, as they didn't have enough classroom space. They opened enough new schools about 8 or 9 years ago to handle everyone, but a lot of people like the year round type calendar. So they kinda compromised. Summer is short, but they get a longer fall break and spring break. I'd rather have time off in October than August, I think!
I'd better not tell S11, he might think it was a good idea!
