Boy, these kids in yellow and green are just half the age of this lady in red. To have all three of them huffing and puffing running for the ball is already a compliment. To be regarded, by somebody of their caliber (being in school varsity does mean something), worthy to guard not only gives this old heart a lift but a sense of accoplishment. That nothing is wasted in those months of weekday practice and occasional bruises, cramps and twisted ankles.action filled pics courtesy of gumarz: thanks to you and your "hon" for the support
