Weekend Preview


The heat continues here; old-timers call it "earthquake weather." Let's hope not. Friday nights are practice nights for this U-13 girls team and their young coach.


Saturdays are game days. Tomorrow's game will be in the Presidio at noon. After that, the coach will don his uniform for the drive south to Hayward, where he'll compete in a State Cup game with his club team.


I've always loved back-lit photographs this time of year. The angle of the sun in late afternoon brings out details and colors that remain obscured much of the year, or from other angles.

If we could back-light our own lives, maybe everything would look a little better than it does in the harsh glare of everyday reality. Or maybe we'd be even more captive to the illusions that trap most of us into believing that we know anything at all.

Anything at all.
