Sisyphus in Stripes

September, 2008

Because these guys are my counterparts, another group of middle-aged men who devote a part of their day to the service of teenage athletics and all the personal and physical development those activities bring to the youth of Long Island. Because most of them realize that they're just about getting to be almost too old to do this sort of thing for much longer already. Because there's something about an open field in the late afternoon on the south shore of the island in mid-October, with a warm sun, a cool shade and a close game.

Because there's just something about teenagers.

That's why he tries to push over the goalpost...
