I’ve been giving a bit of thought to picking up some land in Tennessee to go alongside the new family’s plot. Could I, a black man of a certain age, live in the backwoods of Tennessee? Yeah, so long as I keep to my own land and don’t try to rustle up too much trouble. Gotta stay humble in places like this which are so homogenous.
But do I want to own land here? I want to own land and have something to pass down to the kids one day. I want to own a bit of land I actually want to be on. I like the idea of adding acres to the existing property because of the history here and the ability to grow some of that myself.
Some Thoughts:
- We will be missing half the boys this Thanksgiving, and given the mounting injuries, it might be for the best. No Turkey Bowl.
- Gotta think about the fact that both boys who’ve gone through HS football developed knee injuries. Third one is starting next year. He’s built a bit different, but not all that different.
- Giants @ Seahawks tomorrow. Excited to go to my first Giants game.
