Elder offspring's Spring soccer season ended today. At the start of the season, I nervously volunteered to be the assistant coach for the team, because an assistant coach was needed and I was going to be at all the games and practices anyway. It's not like I had mad coaching skillz; really, I was more of a sous-coach.
Anyway, at the end of the season party tonight, the players surprised us with some awesome gifts to thank us for coaching. They gave me a membership to the Tech Museum.
Awesome kids that they are, they really didn't have to -- but I'm glad they did!

Two sports posts in one day? They're going to revoke my membership in the Association of Intellectuals. But hey, college basketball is one of my great passions. ESPN has been discussing and debating who would go on the Mt.
Nice gift. All I get is a $10 gift certificate for Circuit City and a team photo. Of course, that's better than what I get for being a ref!
The museum looks pretty cool -- I travel to San Jose a lot and I'll have to check it out next time.
BTW, how'd the season go?
