i had my turn. It was his/her turn (daughter played softball). I didn’t get excited. I thought more about what I had to do that day to arrive on time whether it was just the work that day or catching a plane by a certain time.

When I arrived it was more about seeing the people I liked than the game. With travel I knew it was going to be an enjoyable weekend watching and dining with people I liked.

Story about dining out Saturday night ... It was 18u Gold softball. Some of the girls were old enough to drive. They decided to eat at Hooters while the parents ate at a nice restaurant. Why did the girls want to eat at Hooters? They knew no way in hell would the mothers allow the dads to go to Hooters. The girls sacrificed quality to get away from us. It’s how high school kids think.

When my son played 13u the coach had the team meet up at Twin Peaks after the game. I had never been to one and didn't know what to expect. Turns out it was lingerie night. That sure was an awkward team dinner.
