Head Coach

My little girl is a college coach - guess it really won't sink in until I see her barking out orders to her players (who, by the way all tower over their coach). I'll get my chance to see her and her team in action in just three weeks when I travel with them to Florida for a 10-day spring break trip. She jokingly mentioned to her Athletic Director a few months ago that her mom would like to go as the "team mom". The next thing we knew, he had purchased my airplane ticket and put on the "roster". I'm now official. I've got the jacket, the sweatshirt and the travel bag to prove it! Of course, I do have an ulterior motive...my mom, my brother and his family live just 35 miles from Cocoa Beach where the spring break tournament will be held. I have my own rental car booked, and I'll be making some runs to Melbourne between practice sessions and game days.

Just looking forward to a little R & R - even if it's with 12 - 19/20 year olds.
