Another day, another blog. I thought about going back to the conversation about college FB–especially after spending most of yesterday playing the video game. I’m not going to do that. I did learn that it is not really about college football for me. It’s about my son’s journey. I told him today that I was missing him and worried about him having a good life. He’s having a blast doing the FB thing in college and trying to take his talents further. It makes me happy.
What doesn’t make me happy is the inability to maintain steady relationships over the phone. I’m not a great phone dad. I don’t call often and often don’t know what to say. Better on text, to be sure, but that isn’t enough. I need to be better as a dad. If this were ten years ago, I’d read a book about it. No reason I can’t do that now…
Some Thoughts:
- It is taking me two days to do the really tough chapters.
- I locked in on the summer class and finished with a shot at an A and a 4.0. Love to see it..
- It is wild how fast and terribly this present government is reshaping the United States. We are quite literally falling back into the 50s in some ways. We are advancing in no ways. This will change the country for decades to come, and the richest will benefit while the poorest–the ones who voted these people into office–will suffer greatly. It’s okay though. At least they can rest their laurels on the fact that they are doing something about the real threats to Americans.
- The shift of ICE to a near Gestapo-level force is terrifying. These people want to do this.
- The High Schooler’s FB team held their summer camp at the school. That is just lazy. Add it to the list of reasons they’ve gone downhill.
