Orange Hair, Green Beard and Lady Blue Rays

When you see someone with orangish/red hair and a green beard wearing chartreuse tie-dye socks with Crocs, you know that you have to officially meet them. I know image conjures up visions of leprechaun's , but I am pretty sure he isn't one. This was the case at Gray's last volleyball game. I had actually seen him last season with the orangish/red hair wearing brown tie dye socks, but never took the time to meet him so as our game was over I waited to meet him. After he was finished turning in the team roster, I ran over to mid-court and said, "Hi, my name is Donna...." I continued my spiel and shortly I was shaking hands with Roy. I asked him if he was a full-time coach and he told me, "No, I do this for my daughters - I have four of them." He colors his hair and beard for the team - the team rubs his hair for luck. This year, his team is wearing chartreuse shirts hence the chartreuse tie dye socks (which I have to admit are better than last year's brown tie dye. The brown tie-dye socks from a distance looked a bit poo). Roy told me that I could stay and watch their games, and we could talk more later. I declined - I didn't want him to think this was a creative pick-up line.

How did the Lady Blue Rays fare? We won the second game, we are now tied for 1st.
