Here in Turlock, in Central California, where it's 97 degrees headed for 102 at game time (4:30). Seals v. Pumas. This the first round of the Western Regionals for the U.S. National Cup, a big deal for the boys (and their parents).
We're chillin' in our hotel, staying out of the sun for now. This is probably the most important tournament I've ever had a kid play in, so it's exciting -- almost as much a the city high school championship game two years back.
As his adrenaline kicks in, I know Aidan will get nervous, as he always does before games. This is a college showcase tournament, so presumably lots of college coaches will be watching.
But it's just a game, he's still a kid, and I'm his Dad. Spending Father's Day weekend here with him is just fine by me.
