A poem
THIS OLD HOUSE
This old house you lay in your crib
This old house you wore your first bib
This old house you read your first book

You're living the dream, right?
what is it as I get older
time passes faster
summer solstice
days begin to shorten
sweat glistens
humid dreams
sticky hardwood
dance in a sprinkler
joy in a splash
run on a pitch
what is it as I get older
time passes faster
i will be stronger [K'naan]

What's the etiquette on cheering your kids in a sports blowout?
To celebrate or not, that is the question

A steady breeze cooled our pores on a beautiful, sunny June day at Millennium soccer park in Ottawa.
My son's U-12 soccer team was playing in the U-13 bracket of the Ottawa TFC Capital Cup soccer tournament. Their third round-robin game of the day. Off to a quick start, my son's team . . .
