Soccer - The Orange Dreamcycles

We decided to let McCoy play soccer again this year. He was still a little timid, but for the most part was a good player. He even made a couple of goals (after I bribed him with money). McCoy can run run pretty fast and has great coordination skills when he puts his mind to it. I think we'll probably wait another year before we sign him up again. I want him to want to play. Next year Landon will be old enough to play so that should be interesting.

San Francisco

I'm a little late posting, oh well. A couple of weeks ago I went to San Francisco with my mother-in-law and two sister-in-laws. We had an enjoyable time going to the fishermans warf, china town and the golden state park. While we were there we took advantage of their transportation service (subway, trolley and bus sytem). That was definitely an interesting experience. You never knew who you were going to sit or stand next to. I'm not sure I've ever seen so many homeless people in my life. On every corner someone was begging or performing for money. I guess I have lived a pretty sheltered life so far. It makes you wonder what happened in their life to put them there. The weather was always cold, windy and rainy, but we made the best of it. I think my favorite time was when my mother-in-law and I went to the golden state park together. It was nice and relaxing and the gardens were amazing. Thanks Peggy for the great time.
