These girls deserve the best sportswomanship award. Over the past few years, their all-time record is 0-19 and they've been outscored ~91-6. But their spirits remain high, they work hard, and they are improving.
These past few days have been packed with people coming and going.
The weather turned cold today; the sky's grown dark.
Yesterday was warmer. So that allowed lots of outdoor time. Little kids barely notice the weather, anyway.
It's a historical moment at Hotweir.
With people at so many stages of development around here -- a newborn held by a 15-year-old; a ten-year-old reading to a one-year-old. A 30-something helping a 13 year old. Another 30-something playing with a 2 year old. A 20-something talks with a 60ish person.
My three sons, so sweet...
...and so tough!
Happy post number one thousand, five hundred, Hotweir! It took a little over three and a half years to get here...Onward toward 2,000.

Congratulations! Yesterday I looked back at many of your older posts, several from each year. Your blog is an incredible portrayal of personal history.
I was taking with a friend in Belmont and she said her son's team played scocer in the 16 year old league against a San Francisco team. She said the SF team was unusually rough and acted like hooligans. As one of many examples, she said one SF play apparently intentionally rammed his knee in the opposing side's goalie when he was bending down and that this was in the box. He later bragged about having done this.
You spend a lot of time talking about your son's team and I'm wondering if he is in the same league. Does your son's team every play a team from Belmont?
