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.


  • OK – four straight days of rain – we’ll be lucky to get our soccer complex open before Friday. FUN! Can’t wait to try and reschedule these! #
  • Trying to thaw out. The girls played their hearts out, but we let one in with 3 minutes left and lost 0-1. Girls were frozen and soaked. #
  • Off with my ’96 girls team to play soccer in the rain when it’s 35 degrees. Definition of nasty! But home team calls it & we’re away. #

  • Cool! My U12 girls may get to play their first game on turf due to grass fields closing. Not Cool- because it may be 34 degrees & drizzling. #
