So, I coached.
I mean I really coached. I was the only coach out there on the field for offense and defense in a 7 v 7 high school tourney and man, I was having fun. This is no longer my life but for a moment it was fun to get back out there and feel that I had the ability to make a difference moreso than I felt all of last season. I was happy and drained and it felt like a proper goodbye. Like that moment I love so much in Love Actually, “Enough”
So I am ready to move on and be a fan to these kids proper like. I can look at what they are doing and say, cool. I can help them get better through an hour at the park here and there but that is not coaching. That is a dad out with his kids. I spent a ton of mental energy thinking about this kind of stuff for years and now I need to turn that energy towards the other more important stuff in my life.
Yep, that does include the writing.
Some Thoughts:
- I miss the Casinos
- I miss Peter King’s coffeenerdness. I need to do something to pay homage to that man’s swag again. I need to think about ways to make that Wednesday better for the blog. For the fans and for PK.
- Speaking of writers named King, next Thursday Stephen King is set to debut a new part of the Stand–a Coda made for the show. I hope it is better than the ending we were stuck with on the show last week. It felt way too rushed to wrap things up properlike.
- Been sleeping extremely poorly to the point where I messed up my neck again. Not great.
