So ... I walked on up to the field, Laura ran off to the coach, I opened the chair, and I pulled out my book. People looked. I smiled and went back to reading. The game hadn't started yet; I figured it was okay to read. I figured I could read between plays. Finally, someone said, "A book. I never thought of that." Reading is an anomaly at soccer games. Parents are expected to chat and cheer. Ah well, I don't bring books anymore. I do like watching my daughter's growing skill, the grace of movement sometimes, the efficiency in moving the ball across the field, but I haven't been able to shout, and I only chat if necessary. Day dream? Yes. The entire time.

This made me smile. Thank you.
