Battling Back

This past weekend featured the return of the Caz.  We taped him up, added a pad, and put him back into action.  His coaches were excited.  But more importantly,Caz was ecstatic. He was so pumped to get back into action.  He played both days.  He really played well too.  It was like he didn't miss anytime. Sure, I'm his dad.  His grandmother's and mother's opinions might be slightly biased too.  But his coaches were pleased with his performance.  I guess that really says it all.
     I am really just happy that he stuck with practice and stayed engaged while on the IR.  He bid his time.  He lobbied hard to return to action.  He (begrudgingly) wore the required pad over his break.  He really wanted to come back this weekend to play our local rivals.  On Friday night, he asked me, "Dad? Are we playing Vegas this weekend?".  Yes.  Indeed we were.  This is where the rivalry begins.  Nothing wrong with a good, healthy rivalry.
