My partner noticed, rightly, that I spend a great deal of time lost in thought about the situations my boys get involved with. Football is especially time consuming. This is a way of life that is totally alien to her but is absolutely natural to me. I see it. I wish I had ‘football hours’ where I could contain my thoughts about the situation to a small period of time and then just move on. Instead it bleeds into everything just like everything I think and do bleeds into everything else, leaving my brain a multi-colored rorschach of a situation desperately trying to focus on one thing at a time.
Or, I just gotta get better at not getting sucked in.
The big issue of the week was my youngest switching football teams three games into the season and by doing so giving a younger team a real chance to compete. Saturday he’ll start for the new team after just 2 hrs of practice and a walkthrough. I’m excited, because he is playing with kids his own age and that seems to always give him an advantage. This could be fun for him and really cool to watch. I think I will get a chance to shoot another video as a result.
