Season's Ending



The soccer season has ended. The Scorpions lost in the tournament quarterfinals today, 4-1. The team that beat them is a great soccer team, from here in the Mission. As one of our coaches told the boys afterward, "the best team won today."



It was a beautiful day way down south in Morgan Hill, with clear blue skies, bright sunshine, and crisp air.



The boys were down 2-0 late in the first half when they started intensifying their effort and closed the gap to 2-1 by halftime.



But in the second half the game got away from them although they fought on to the end.



Afterward, there was nothing to do but leave that place and drive the long straight road home.

Plus to look at a winter tree in the sunlight...



...and a jet's trail in the brilliant sky.
