We played on a soccer team this fall with a bunch of other people from our building in DC (the Barbara). It was the first time I felt old playing a sport. I don’t know how much older we were on average than the teams of staffers that we played against, but I would guess about 5 years, and it showed as we raced the other players to the ball. The season started out a bit rough, it took us a number of weeks to win our first game, but then we totally turned it around. We old farts did OK for ourselves. We ended up tied for 5th in the league (of 12 teams) — 3 wins, 2 losses, and 3 ties. Winter season begins soon.
Go Barbarians!
