One summer day I was walking to the Y in my soccer attire when this guy came running up to me. "Do you play football?" he asked eagerly. "Yes" I replied.
"Where can I play?" he asked.
I pointed to the YMCA right behind me and invited Charles to join us on a Sunday. Charles, like many soccer mongrels in NY, had been deprived of his football fix as he didn't know where he could play. We exchanged numbers. I lost his number, but a few weeks later he showed up and he's been coming ever since. Charles hails from Cameroon.
