St. Rita High School Cheerleaders at Comiskey Park August 9, 2009

St. Rita Cheerleaders along with about twenty five other schools and clubs put on a great show for thousands of Moms, Dads, Siblings and Cousins at Comiskey Park ( The Cell to those who insist upon Change for the Sake of Dollars)) in the 95 + Degree heat and Desert Breeze today.

All of the girls were remarkable, especially my youngest child Clare!

Irish Wall Flower and Nobel Laureate William B. Yeats said it well, but nevertheless was not exactly a hit with the Chicks.

TO A CHILD DANCING IN THE WIND
by: W. B. Yeats (1865-1939)

DANCE there upon the shore;
What need have you to care
For wind or water's roar?
And tumble out your hair
That the salt drops have wet;
Being young you have not known
The fool's triumph, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won,
Nor the best labourer dead
And all the sheaves to bind.
What need have you to dread
The monstrous crying of wind?
