On the Side
The sideline is the place where you'll find many important and fun loving people.  Those people include school teams and individuals waiting their turn to run or cheering on the side for teammates and friends.  You'll also find a lot of hard working parents, grandparents, family and friends cheering and rooting for the kids.  Sometimes you'll find people talking and laughing.  Sometimes you'll find people crying for joy or for a loss or near win.  Sometimes you'll find people reading a book or walking the dog.  But all in all you'll find some very nice people.  Here are some of those people.
