BOM

I recently joined the Chatham Soccer League as a volunteer board member mostly to help them out with scheduling and general administration. I was headed down the path of being one of “those parents” that bitches and moans about the lack of organization, communication, and general chaos abound in most organizations relying predominantly on volunteers. I had a choice to complain safely from the sidelines or to get into the ring and help them solve problems. I opted for the latter. And I can honestly say it’s been much, much more challenging and complicated than I could’ve imagined. There have been many late nights emailing & calling people, negotiating with terrorists, etc. But getting messy and getting your hands dirty to fix a problem is a much better path than pointing and criticizing. I encourage everyone to be on the lookout for the “pointing and criticizing” pattern in your life and redirect it toward assistance and support. SYITG.

Moleskin

Mumbles is really fast.
Gold star for Dueling Banjos, who opted to jog back to the sprint starting line while all other PAX walked.
