It's a Winner

but still going on

I enjoy going to watch Alex play volleyball, but the season seems to be dragging a bit. Maybe it's just me but it seems rather long. We had another game last night. The sixth grade team won their match to break the losing streak. I'm hoping they get better and use more of the bump-set-spike play instead of the just-hit-it-over-the-net-and-hope-the-other-team-makes-a-mistake play.

Emma is still playing basketball, I think. She missed the last practice because of a volleyball game. I'm not sure how much the kids get out of something like that at such an early age. It seems that around here they want the kids to get into organized sports pretty early. I don't have a problem trying to teach kids some of the fundamentals but it seems to cross over into more of a competitive thing that tends to drive away some people, namely me.
