"And sleeping with kids at the age mine are in a tent or a camper is like being trapped in a small space with a dozen hyenas. It’s not good. They don’t sleep until they pass out, sometimes while still standing up and jumping on my bed. Most of the time when we camp, we’re up until one day turns into the next because my daughters somehow seem to run on batteries that last longer than any flashlight I’ve ever owned."

"When Sleeping Inside Just Isn't Enough"
"Sure, the goal in soccer is to score goals. But I'd argue with almost anyone the goal of soccer is cohesion, is unity, is friendship. Soccer is about passing the ball around with your friends while simultaneously passing the ball around other people who just want to pass the same ball around with their friends."
