  1. So we have been at a relatively unexpected soccer tournament this weekend. On Wednesday we received an email from the coach of the sporting St. Louis Rangers U12 boys team. They were looking for a guest player to replace their goalie for the tournament. This is one of two Academies run by The MLS team Sporting K.C. (The other one in KC). We were not sure what Peter's reaction would be as he would be playing goalie on a very high level team with players he did not know, and he would be playing U12 at 101/2. He immediately said yes and was very excited to play. So we had two games on Saturday and two on Sunday. The first game was rather calm and he made 5 solid saves, which gave him a lot of confidence as the team won 1-0. The second game was against the Chicago Fire U12 academy team. This game was a dogfight and Peter made 14 saves and let in one goal. The team won 2-1 and he definitely secured that win for them. I also must add that the Chicago Fire team was one of the dirtiest playing teams I have ever seen. We had one of our players kneed in the back, after the play was over, one player kneed in the groin, after the play was over and one of their players sitting on the goalie to prevent him from getting up. (They were fucking close to losing that player). On Sunday, the first game was a blow out and we won 9-0. Peter only touched the ball once. The second game was interesting and we eventually won 2-1 with their goal coming on a PK because our goalie took down the player in the box without actually trying for the ball. His mom was furious and my comment was as long as you are going to take him down at least use the arm bar. Anyway, we ended up winning the tournament and Peter only let in 2 goals, one of which was a PK.

  6. The pics of Le Mont St Michel off the Normandy coast reminded me of the Bayeux Tapestry (as it does - welcome to my weird brain). William (the conqueror) bogged down in the quicksand surrounding Le Mont St Michel (monte Michaelis) nearly 1000 years ago

  8. I like my Ricoh GR if you want something that is a little bigger (it feels very nice in the hands). The only problem is that it is a fixed zoom and probably won't fit very well in your jean pockets. It is fine in a jacket pocket. It has snap focus which is very nice for low light/night shots. I've never tried the Sony but thought about getting an mk ii when I got the Ricoh. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/965424-REG/ricoh_175743_gr_digital_camera.html

  15. It wasn't too bad and my repair guy, who I've been using for 10 years cut me a break on the weekend service call cost. So I overpaid him and did it in cash. No more drippy boiler.

  16. Claire baked and built, but I frosted and toasted-coconuted this coconut layer cake with rum syrup, vanilla bean pastry creme filling and butter cream frosting. Pretty, if I do say so myself (even though it needs to set in the fridge and get cleaned up a bit).
