For those of you not following me on Twitter (I’m @soccerdad), here’s a peek at my Tweets for the past week. Clearly I tweet too much.

  • Up WAY too early for a Saturday, and expect at 8AM we’ll be told the fields we’re heading to are closed. Hopefully before we leave! #
  • So much for this weekend. Friday and Saturday completely washed out and Sunday is probably done for as well. Sigh. #
