lee high school homecoming

we play soccer during homecoming. i love it. it's not necessary for me to understand a single thing about the sport to know when my boys are playing their hearts out. and they were, they so were. and they lost, they so lost.
i have much to say, but even more to plan. in short, i was proud of lee high school that day. there was rain blowing in a not-so-thin mist across the field, and it had poured just before the game. so, the field was flooded, and the air was heavy with water, in ways that only a houstonian can understand. the resulting damp was in our clothes, soaking through our shoes. but still, the stands were full, of dancing, cussing kids. and they sang their profane cheers from beginning to end.

go lee.
