Undefeated
That is my theme for the day.
As in, my son's soccer team went 6-0 and ended the season undefeated .
Full disclaimer, we don't keep "official" score for 6 and under soccer, but still.
I am going to miss coaching these kids. I was pretty emotional after the game Saturday.
The wife kept busting my chops about it.
*Sob* You don't understand!
There is always next fall to look forward to. Some of Gabriel's team mates go to the same school that he does, so I should be able to run into them here and there.

Ho Ho Ho Happy Halloween
My 2 year old daughter exclaimed, "Ho Ho Ho!!! Happy Halloween!" last night.
It was so cute that we all had a good chuckle about it.
However, we were a bit perturbed. Colleen turns to me and says, "this is what's wrong with our society. We are so over commercialized. It's not even Halloween yet and we are already hearing about Christmas."
You know. She's right. Let's skip Halloween and Thanksgiving and go straight for Q4 BUY BUY BUY SHOP TILL YOU DROP OMGWTFBBQ SALES!!!! X-Mass extravaganza.
This might be an ironic stance for me to take as I work for a major etailer, but still. I want to be able to enjoy Fall and Halloween, upcoming Birthdays (Gabe and my sister in law Amy), Thanksgiving before I have to worry about selling all my blood plasma to try to afford to buy presents for people, who already have everything that they NEED.
Trick or (Humbug) Treat everyone!
