Lately I’ve found myself revisiting the cheapoldhouses.com website. It is a solid fantasy that may wind up being more than that. My wife, the wonderful Lady Talis, and I need one. Things here are more like survival than thrive. We are spending the majority of our at-home energy preserving a state of perpetual ease for grown children who don’t necessarily need it, and we are suffering as a result of that and of the terrible social conditions here. This is not the place for us. First off, there are hardly any trees, which is a big deal. Yet the work is good, the pay is good, and we have one more high schooler in the fold.
Hell, he can move with us should he choose to. It would probably be for the best…
Some Thoughts:
- They got blown out. It was 42-0 at the half and that was simply because the other team was running the clock and the backups were in. It ended 49-7. Desert Vista is not a well coached team. The product they put on the field often doesn’t resemble a program worthy of competing in the highest division in the state. They lack the players, the coaches, and the straight up backing of the school. The program is a joke. On a night where they honored a former player who made it to the NFL they showed that they may never see another player make it to the show. In truth there are four players on the roster who can possibly play at the next level. Only two of those have a D1 chance. My kid is one merely because of size and pedigree. Having a brother at that level goes a long way. Unfortunately, he’s being coached into the ground by a HC that is so very clearly over his head. At this point it would be negligent for me not to consider moving him elsewhere to actually have a chance to put up good film.
