Newsroom Gathering

Today at KQED a lot of us stopped doing our jobs at our desks, grabbed laptops, and gathered at the news table before some big-screen TV sets. We all watched, cheered and groaned together as the US soccer team fell just short of advancing in the World Cup, 1-2.

As I sat there with my colleagues, I thought about the many years I've spent on the sidelines, cheering my own children as they've played the "beautiful game." Like all things beautiful, it is also exquisitely painful.

Today was a day of pain.
