Indoor Soccer Season, Retro Gaming On The 3DS, New Profile Pic

Our first indoor soccer season campaign is underway and it’s been fun. T really likes this a lot. He loves the shorter field, the walls, and not being outside in the cold. I used to play indoor and it is certainly a lot of fun for those reasons. He’s enjoying it so that’s all that matters. One sad note is that this is the last soccer team I will coach. I’ve decided to put all of my energy into being Pack Leader for his Cub Scouts and that takes a lot of time and preparation and I only have so much during the week. I think that’s enough LOL. Plus, I like being the fun guy who takes them camping and shows them how to build stuff, not the guy who rides all the kids to play hard and gets on them for missing plays. Let someone else do that, they need skill development anyway and I think I took them as far as I can. I did teach them how to play hard from the drop till the stop and also not to get discouraged when they’re losing and to win with grace. My friend Rob will coach B going forward on his youth journey and he’s a very capable guy who I think he’ll like playing for going forward. We will see what T does after this spring season, maybe fall. We are working on his conditioning and skill set and see if he’s interested in playing select. I am not sure, he’s not a big fan of taking contact and the non-contact sports like baseball he finds boring. He definitely won’t be playing football. We still may explore swimming. To me you have to be involved, you can’t be that kid that doesn’t do anything and gets average grades there’s just no future in it and it definitely doesn’t look good on a college application. He may be fine just doing Scouts and Tae Kwon Do, maybe one more sport to round it out but we will see.

I’m nearing completion of my 3DS games collection. I love Nintendo and handhelds and retro gaming. I’ve been getting all the best too, look at the games below (thank you E-Bay). Metroid is my favorite though, that game is great. What’s not on here but is on my 3DS digitally is Steamworld Dig – wow that was great. Next I will play some more Switch when I have time – I’ve been sitting on this Zelda Breath of the Wild game forever. I am just having trouble getting access to it as my youngest loves the Switch also, in particular Super Smash Brothers and the various Lego games. Perhaps I’ll purchase my own? I don’t foresee me ever getting the Steam Deck – I don’t want to play my PC gaming catalog on a screen that size when I have these beautiful ASUS VG258 monitors at home, plus I don’t travel/commute so no need for portability there.

Finally, a new profile pic. I’ve been lifting weights a lot and I decided my appearance has changed enough to warrant a new internet profile pic. I like to use just one across all of my accounts to remind myself I’m updating it. This was actually taken at a Christmas party with me next to my beautiful wife. I am also wearing a Sting WWE wrestling shirt, which is just icing on the cake!
