Let’s start with the fact that people are fighting at track meets. Track Meets.
What made the situation worse is that the coaches for my kid’s very “not urban” school reacted badly leading to parents reacting badly. More than one they demanded the kids be loaded up on buses quickly to escape. And I know a lot of that was about race. I never heard them say race but the overtones of them and places like this were clearly stated. Places like this being the all-city meet.
At least my kid won his race.
As I write this I am waiting for the Pizzas I ordered to leave Dominos for delivery. I ordered 45 minutes ago. The food was being ‘checked’ 35 minutes ago. Why hasn’t it hit the road? So, yeah, this is that day. This is that day I really wanted the world to give me a break and let me feel good for an extended period of time but that good is all diced up in the bad and the bad is not overwhelming but needling and annoying and that is just too much.
Again, my kid did win his race. So that was nice for him.
Back to me…. Nah. Not so good.
The Giants got a good pick and additional first round draft pick next year–amazing value. So, thats really good for them.
Back to me? Nah. just nah.
My friend had a launch party for her poetry book today. Nice work and couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. really proud of her.
Back to me. Nope.
