This may come as a surprise to you… »

I will not be watching the Super Bowl today because I don’t care about football. Unless you are talking about European football (also known as Soccer to us Americans). So today, I will play with the kids, go to the shrine of man (Lowes or Home Depot) and generally hang out with the family doing [...]

Please, please, please…. »

To my dear children, Please, Please, Please play soccer and not swimming or cheerleading or softball or any other sport [...]

Oh to be young and stupid again… »

I remember vividly my teenage years. I was able to do really stupid stuff, play soccer, and chase girls. But the most important thing I was able to do was SLEEP IN! Do you remember sleeping in? Let me take you back…. It’s Saturday morning, you’re all snuggly in bed and the only thing you [...]

Some random observations and other thoughts on the future…. »

Tomorrow (Saturday) is a big day. The USA Soccer team TRYS to win a world cup game against Italy. Not going to happen. Hey I am rooting for the US but realistically this is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG shot. No one will be happier than me if it does happen. We celebrate Father’s Day a day ealry [...]

Ouch! That hurt. »

The USA team just lost 3 – 0 against the Czech Republic in the World Cup match. The next game is against Italy on June 17th. This match will be even tougher. It’s not looking good for the USA. But we will keep the faith. At least Germany won their first match. (I’m married to [...]
