The celebration of my 63rd birthday was postponed until we could do it as an entire family. The kids treated me to an amazing Italian diner at Olivia’s Bistro in Waltham. As good as the food was, it was surpassed by the conversation which reminded me how much I admire the adults that our kids have become. Earlier in the day, I was on the soccer pitch in what turned out to be our most challenging match of the season. We emerged with a narrow 1-0 win against a tough Brazillian team. The victory all but secured a first-place finish in our division and a berth in the post-season playoffs.
