[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

Years ago when I was only a middle-aged bald geezer and not the bald old geezer that I am now I used to officiate H.S. soccer.

The OhioHSAA plays it boys' and girls' H.S. soccer in the Fall and one year I had a boys' JV game in early October when some early Winter weather came through NW Ohio. Everybody from both teams were bundled up wearing stocking caps (which it made it somewhat difficult to tell who had long hair and who had really long hair), long sleeve undergarments, and gloves. I was checking the Home teams shows and reminding them not to wear jewelry when I made the comment (thinking that I everybody on the team was a male): "I hope everybody is wearing their fur lined cups." No sooner had I said it a very feminine voice said: "I don't know about my teammates but my cups are fur lined." Everybody burst out laughing, even me.

It started snowing half way through the first half and never stopped the rest of the game.
