Friends -
I got on here by accident, but it gives me a chance to say hi again and report that the return trip, me with 14 boys, was a wonderful adventure. We faced some challenges with calm and precision, and only used the Jedi mind trick once. You will let us in this customs line. I will let you in this customs line. Your boys went through this entire process with maturity and resilience. I thought the conga line and a cappella singing in the customs waiting line was exemplary. I joined in. We got through customs and claimed luggage with no mishaps and the boys had time to go upstairs for food while I took Gabe and Max outside and kicked them to the curb and ran. All good. We secured seats on Dartmouth Coach, waited in Boston traffic, and got home at Midnight. Good road warriors who can finish off a game made it possible to proclaim the trip a dazzling success. Great friendships. Great goals. Brilliant defensive plays. Big time goalkeeping. Did I mention great friendships? We got back late Monday. There were Touchline games Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday's a Huntley was a classic. Some Iceland boys played in both. Next up is a T5 game at Plainfield Elementary Sunday at 4:00. Practice this Friday at Huntley 4:00 - 5:30, then you should go hear Hans Williams in Concert in WRJ at 6:30. I'll be migrating to the HHS soccer blog later tonight. Cheers!
