This is ludicrous. Seven- and eight-year-olds valiantly trying to cover the same acreage as those grown-up chaps in the Premier League is absurd.

My Life As an Adventure...

 where the Governor's Mansion sat on this really beautiful acreage of land, with these long black gates that ran the length of the property. We get to the Governor's Mansion, we pull the little lever that lets them know this is our stop, we get off the bus, my mom, my dad and I, we walk across the street.
