Soccer Nut

I remember when I was a young boy growing up in Sandy Utah and really getting into soccer. It was during that time that pops found a soccer store called the soccer nut. I think the mascot was a peanut not unlike the plantars peanut but I may not remember it all that well. We are talking 25 to 30 years ago. Anyhow I think I have a new appreciation for that particular name - Soccer Nut. With three kids in soccer this year I am feeling a little pressure with the schedule. I don't even have Andy on the go yet and actually he doesn't start until next Saturday. So I am thinking that you can become a Soccer Nut in more than one way. Naturally there is the die hard fan of the sport that is simply nuts about it. They love it and would defend it proudly on the airwaves of sports radio in America - knowing all the while that they are being ridiculed and mocked because of it. This is the person who probably hangs a soccer ball in a net on their rearview mirror. I will admit, I think that last one is cool and I would possibly do it but I don't know if I am truly that nuts. Well, there is the guy that is nuts about soccer and then there is the guy that is nuts because of soccer. I do believe that right now I am falling into the category of the latter. Every night this week has had something going on that was directly related to soccer. It can be exhausting. It can drive you nuts. I am not saying that I am nuts but I may be on my way. We actually had a good practice tonight and have incorporated a lot of running in the practice. I challenged the ladies in Gassers but never lost. There were a couple that got close. It went well though.

A thought of randomness. Jack said to me: "Dad, you can have your honeymoon at the Little Brick House because they have good sandwiches". Make no mistake people, I am not making an announcement here, simply relaying Jack's thought. When I say random it is completely so. I don't know that I would stay at the BHC for my honeymoon but perhaps a visit could be done.

Well, nothing else. I am a wild and crazy guy, also known for his mobility tonight. Worked over the team in running gassers tonitht. Managed to beat all of them multiple times. I can do that because I am a soccer nut. Whatever.
