Special thanks to Doug and Valerie for thinking of us when they scored some New England Revolution tickets. So…. last night we went to our first professional soccer game, and it was a blast. The New York Red Bulls scored first – late in the second half. But the Revolution fired back with just seconds left on the clock, tying the game. The Red Bulls goal keeper, who had taunted us when they scored first, went uncharacteristically quiet when the Revs fired one past him.

Valerie’s photo of our subdued, well-behaved children. Sigh.
