Lacrosse Player, Thy Name Is Chris

Chris has emarked on his quest to risk life and limb by playing summer lacrosse. There are a few sports that he played in high school and really enjoyed, and every time he sees one of those sports being played, either live or on tv, he decides that he should be playing that sport. Lacrosse is one of those sports. Living out in DC over the past three years, we had the opportunity to see some high quality Lacrosse being played by some of the best in the country, and every time we would watch a game, Chris would say something about playing in a league. Now that we're back in Salt Lake, he has been able to sign up for a summer league, and he had his first game last night. It's always a delight for me to be able to watch Chris doing something that he really enjoys and I get a little thrill out of seeing him do well. Last night was no exception. Though his team all wore yellow shirts and all looked pretty similar, I had no problem picking out which one Chris was. He has a very distinctive way of moving that made it quite easy for me to fix my eye on him and watch every move that he made. It was so fun. Our law school friends were also there to watch him. A picnic had been planned for yesterday evening and the group kindly decided to move the location of the picnic to the park where Chris was playing so that we could all hang out. It was great to see them all again and they all got to see Chris in action, which was fun.
