He really wanted to play tackle football but who wants to deal with head injuries and concessions? Not me. So against his wishes, he's playing flag which has become more acceptable to him now that he sees his old and new friends doing the same.
Today was his first baseball practice. He moved up from AAA to the Majors this season, and because fall ball is not as heavily played as spring ball, we weren't sure if he'd know anybody on his team.
Turns out one of his favorite teammates from the spring and one of his good 5th grade friends (who goes to another middle school) are both on the team.
And then we found out that one of the boys on the team is the son of a guy Jimmy started in the Foreign Service with 16.5 years ago, long before any of us were having babies.
I LOVE how the Venn diagram of Arlington life works. We're all moving in different work, school, church and neighborhood circles, but we keep overlapping with some great people. That makes me happy.
