facebook.com/nrdp.soccer/pos… Jim McVay was my friend and colleague for over twenty years. He was a man of integrity and character, and he was a pain in the ass in just the right way. Jim and I comforted each other through family drama; he guided me through a slippery legal issue

Why Soccer Players Are Training in the Dark

Sports science company Okkulo has shown that its specially lit training environment can improve players’ visual-motor skills—and a growing number of sports are starting to test it out.

Not bad for a guy who never played the game.

Wayne contributed to Nebraska soccer as a referee, instructor, assessor, assignor, State Referee Administrator, coach, and fan. He participated in thousands of matches and directly impacted tens of thousands of referees, players, and coaches.

Saturday, my dad, Wayne Wilson, was inducted into the NE State Soccer Hall of Fame for Lifetime Achievement as a Referee. His work led to the Nebraska Referee Development Program we know today. I had the honor of delivering his acceptance speech on his behalf. I am proud of him.

One of Sadie's friends is hosting a drop-in gathering on Saturday from 10:00am until Noon at The Mill's Telegraph District location. It would be great if you could join. (Rumor: there might be FGB's...)
Hello all, The anniversary of Sadie’s passing is coming up on us this week, and as it draws nearer, things are harder. Tears come quicker, and I miss her more than ever. I so wish that I could go grab a coffee with her like always and talk, laugh, and cry about all the things that have happened since she’s been gone. I know you all must feel the same way. So what if WE go have coffee in her honor? If I can’t be with her, it would be great to be with all of you who love her too, and hear more about the Sadie we all knew and loved. Would love to see you at The Mill Telegraph next Saturday from 10-12! Drop in for a quick coffee or stay and chat over brunch!

A new report from The Sentencing Project shows that Nebraska's incarceration rate increased by 8% from 2013 to 2022 while crime dropped by 25%. Nebraska is one of three states that incarcerated *more* people as crime decreased over the 9-year period. sentencingproject.org/app/up…

New at The Watch: Trump wants to deport more people than the populations of NYC, Chicago, and L.A. combined. It would cost $1 trillion+, and require a force larger than the U.S. Army. It also can't be done. But that isn't the point. It's about giving his supporters the human suffering they crave. (Link follows)

#Nebraska's 2024 primary election saw light participation across the state – except in the 11 counties that employ all-vote-by-mail. Those counties easily outpaced our other 82 counties on average, and it wasn't even close. @voteathome #NebraskaVotesByMail #VBM #Election2024

This page of social worker vacancies is heart breaking. There are real, human consequences to eliminating jobs like these.

It just dawned on me that I am the age my father was when he and I first became licensed referees together. That was 30 years ago.
