But...but...I have had a whole month and a half off. I am ready for the start of the fall season, which like Glen will take me through to at least December. (We do actually get a slight taste of cold weather here in the northern climes of Texas.) I usually have January off, and then start it all over again with NFHS in Feb.
As for kids, my daughter used to beg to play fall ball. Even with volleyball and basketball taking up a huge amount of her time, I would always cave in because, IMO, it is better to be out somewhere being physical and getting exercise and participating in something you enjoy, than to be planted in front of a television, sitting on the phone, or staring blankly at some IM on a computer screen.
Besides, she doesn't seem too handicapped as an adult from her "warped" upbringing!
