Little League Is Slowly Killing Me

March 26, 2013

This is my son’s first year in Little League.  He’s a third grader who played one season of YMCA t-ball when he was four.  This year my spouse wanted him to join baseball.  We luckily found a team in the AA level with enough of his school friends to make baseball seem like a great [...]

The soccer season ended officially this week with my son’s team party. Normally, the end of the season, for any sport, is circled in red on my calender. I count down to that day, like my kids to Christmas. I cannot wait to reclaim my Saturdays and one to two nights a week. This season [...]

October 30, 2012

When Angel Pagan stole a base in Game 2 of the World Series, Taco Bell launched into their “Steal a Base, Steal A Taco” promotion.  My son, a junk food lover at heart, did a victory lap around the couch.  Thanks to Taco Bell’s commercial in practically every break on Game 3 and Game 4, [...]

Together, We Are Giant

October 29, 2012

Last night, I let my kids stay up past their bedtime to watch the Giants make a clean sweep of the World Series.  Too bad they missed the final pitch against Cabrera; my boys were too busy having a rousing dose of sibling rivalry over refrigerator magnets.  Still, my third grader had a hard time [...]

Sports Carpool Saved My Sanity

September 18, 2012

My son swims for Swim South Bay year round.  It’s the perfect sport for my competitive yet not aggressive kid.  He gets lost on the soccer field, is completely hands-off in flag football, and doesn’t seem to care about basketball.  He says that he wants to play baseball… but never actually shows any interest in [...]

Are You Ready to Rumble? It’s Sumo Time!

September 7, 2012

Picture your holiday card: your tiny child posed next to a hulking sumo wrestler, both in a sumo stance, and maybe both wearing the diaper-like, bikini bottom thing. Okay, scratch the last part. That would be one cool card. The great thing is that you can capture that for free this weekend at the Japantown [...]
