Taken in the fall of 1983 as all three were on the Highland Catholic soccer team
Picture of the day. I came across this picture and had to put it on the blog. I attended Henry's (John's oldest) soccer game when we were in South Bend and with the score at 1-1 at half time Henry put 2 in the net the second half for a 3-1 win. So I guess the soccer in the Lee family continues. I might add that in Cynthia's family Faustina and Jude are on soccer teams and in South Bend Liam and Audrey are on teams as well. Audrey is on a traveling team. I know ALL about traveling soccer as Aaron, Travis and John's traveling teams took them, and sometimes dad, from California to Washington DC and Milwaukee to Kansas City and many many places in between! I coached all three at different times but I would say my coaching skills went as far as kids in elementary school and then they left me way way behind. Well one would know that growing up in North Dakota soccer was a foreign word. My world consisted of baseball and football.
Terry and I attended a presentation about Medicare at the club yesterday. It sounded like we need to look at changing our coverage in light of Medicare changes. I am not good at changes! I taught at one school for 30 years, family did the paper route for 26 years, I have lived in the same house for 42 years and the list goes on. Guess that is all I need to say about myself!
We will go out for lunch today with the Hoskins. They move in a week. I have mentioned before that Rich is a very good tennis player but at the age of 68 or so Alzheimer's has begun to rob him of his physical and mental skills. A great guy and he will be missed as a friend and as a teammate.
I do get to hit the ball today. I will hit with Phil, one of our pros, for 15 minutes or so. Phil encouraged me to use the ball machine or just hit with someone before getting into a match. Phil was so good he said he would divide the 30 minutes session into two 15 minutes as I may be exhausted after 15 minutes! He did not said the exhausted part but that is my take.
I got a decent haircut yesterday. Terry and I go to Edme here and she does a great job. In St. Paul it is a hit and miss kind of thing in terms of getting a good cut. However I have NO desire to go back to the farm and sit on the piano stool with a towel around my shoulders as Dad cuts my hair. I think he did a good job but still the thought of a towel around my shoulders and NO shower after makes me dislike haircuts to this day!
I looked at my calendar yesterday and realized that Charlie Hunt died 15 years ago. It does not seem like it has been that long.
Terry was able to get in a LONG phone conversation yesterday with Todd, Kim's brother-in-law. I think he gave her some good advice in terms of some decisions she needs to make. He will follow up with an e-mail about items. As one ages there are many decisions that need to be made that seem so far off when youth is present!
Terry loves to read the daily paper and I also like to read the Wall Street Journal. I ordered it yesterday as a guy often sits outside of Ace Hardware and "I think" he has good deals. The paper will start tomorrow. With ALL the garbage going on nation wide it almost seems crazy to read about it.
No, my third cup of FP is down to a couple of sips so will sign off for today.
