Make yourself at home

Tonight’s the night when we forget about the deadlines

Raining a little? Better than raining a lot, Luke says.

Rain is gloomy. Watch any movie, and you will be convinced. But Luke showed me this week how to overcome the rain.

I was sitting with my family on the bleachers at the Flagler Palm Coast High School soccer field on Monday, Jan. 8, waiting for the Matanzas-FPC junior varsity girls soccer game to start, when it started to rain. 

That complicated an already complicated outing. As often as my wife and I try, we don’t take everyone on a lot of family outings, since it’s hard to find an activity that will appeal to all ages (our youngest, Luke, is 5; our oldest, Jackson, is 19). Despite some of our children not liking soccer very much, this game was tolerable because we have friends playing on both teams. It became less tolerable when accompanied by cold temperatures, wind and rain.
