7.95. Reflections on a Friday Night

Just a nice warm evening full of…

Some Thoughts:

  1. Track Season. Which means I’ll be blogging about that experience. One thing to point out early on is the relationship between my two youngest boys. The older of the two missed out on setting school records due to Covid and now he’s coaching up his little bro to break all the records he could not. This is really sweet. In the first meet he managed 11.8 in the 75m Hurdles, which is good enough for 3rd all time in the middle school history. Best part of the number: He hit the first two hurdles and had a rather bad start overall. He’s due for a 10 this year.
  2. The other one runs in the morning as a HS Jr coming off his team’s first state championship in several years. He’s coming off a broken leg, so this will be a huge test for him. He’s #2 hurdler on the team, and the first guy is in line to be state champ.
  3. Writing season. Starting that novel. Or Should I say started. Once the contract was signed I was quickly to work. Grateful for the opportunity. There have been fewer than 70 novels published in the line in the last 38 years and I’m on my second.
  4. Working out a family trip to the beach. That stuff is quite expensive, but if I can book early enough maybe there’s a chance for a good deal…
  5. I really want to play Medival Total War. I downloaded it and everything! I just haven’t put in the time to put in the work. Thinking about making it my early morning fix. I need stuff like that to keep me thinking about the worlds of fantasy.
  6. As for the dystopian worlds of sci-fi, all I need to do is read the news to reach for that content.
