Ha!

Consider this an aside from writing on Guatemala, especially that really, really long technical report. Anyhow, in the last two weeks, I committed to co-coaching a U12 club soccer team until the end of school. It should be a blast.
One of the mothers from the team was asking the other coach if we could stay three weeks after the end of school (no way) to finish out the season with the team. The other coach explained that she couldn't because of work. When asked if I (who was not present during this conversation) could stay three weeks after school, my co-coach explained that I couldn't because of work.

Somehow, it came out that I was from Colorado, and...here's the kicker...the mother said, "Oh, is he like one of those raft guides or something?"

My co-coach responded, "Um, yeah, he actually is."

Awkward. I laughed when I heard the story.
