There's a Moon Out Tonight

   Police and reporters will tell you they always know when it's a full moon because that's when all the crazies come out.  Tonight's spectacular full moon in South Jersey may well bring out some strange people, but it also reminded me of the great song by the Capris and a great soccer story from my brother, Gary.

  When he's had time from his full-time job teaching religion at a New England prep school, Gary has coached soccer and ice hockey on and off over the years at the school.  A number of seasons back he was coaching a girls team when one of the deans stopped by practice to briefly discuss an academic matter.  Apparently the dean had done something to antagonize the students and as she walked away from the field, one of Gary's players mooned her.

   Gary happened to catch a glimpse of the moon and asked the girl, "Did I see what I thought I just saw?"

   "Just adjusting my equipment, Coach," replied the player.
