After having an early morning discussion with my girlfriend during which she asked me what shirt was the one her son was referring to when he asked her to wash it and have it ready for tonight(our sons play on the same team) and then her locating it and putting it in the washer...I then quizzed her about her coughing during our conversation and she said she had a tickle and hoped she was not getting ill...well she called back around 10 and said you know that coughing I was doing while we were on the phone...well it was because my washing machine was smouldering and emitting smoke...once she realized what was happening she kept running up and down stairs pouring water into the machine so the baseball shirt would not be ruined...then she tried to call me and then her sister and found neither of us at home Confused when it finally dawns on her to call the Fire Dept Eek...to which came 3 trucks, an ambulance, the Chiefs car and a police car...the machine is kaput but...the baseball shirt has been saved greenjump...so to those out there who cannot understand priorities always remember....the uniform comes first biglaugh
To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived-- this is to have succeeded.

That's funny ...

And it's not just the uniform.

My son of course has several changes of pants, sliding shorts, underarmor, socks, etc., but on game days he has to have a particular pair of pants, sliding shorts, and one ... I mean one ... old, torn, beat up, cutoff sleaves, bleach-won't-help-the-stains, t-shirt he wears under everything that he absolutely has to wear to games.

I hadn't really noticed the t-shirt since I just throw his pile of clothes into the machine ... but one game day he's running around the house searching for it madly. What shirt I ask? The beat up old shirt, sleaves cut off ... with a cross on the chest.

He's pretty private about his own personal faith, but I found it heart warming that he incorporates that into his game in his own way.
