It’s rising here chez Derb. My son’s football team (Huntington Bulldogs

11-yr-old “Blue” team) are playing their third game of the season this

afternoon. Kick-off (or whatever it’s called) is at 3pm. Danny is putting

his game face on. They are one and one for the season so far, so this could

be a big morale booster if we win, especially as it’s an away game. Always

more fun to beat the enemy on their home ground. Go Bulldogs!

I’m told I can’t be on the chain crew this afternoon as this work is reseved

for home-team parents. I am chiking down my disappointment, though, for

Danny’s sake.
