7.30. Reflections on a Thursday Night

The Jets v. Jags game is on in the background and the Jets look terrible with Zach Wilson. He might be good in a few years, but right now he is terrible and he is not at all built for a NYC crowd. Thank goodness for the Jets Defense keeping things close… but not close enough to compensate for that awful offense. Well, give them time. Lots of time. Lots more time.

I think time is the key to a lot of learning and development. I also think the problem with time is waking up and finding yourself old and, in my case, somewhat decrepit. That is a part of why I get sick of watching my boys sit around watching YouTube clips and playing video games and not even waiting for anything to happen but being content with what they have to distract them. Only, it isn’t a distraction from anything. It simply is the life they’ve chosen, and it isn’t going to be more than that. Eventually they may get partners and what not, but they don’t want more. This isn’t all of the kids, but most of them to varying degrees.

I’m not like that. I’m just a really slow cooker. I also get sucked into a lot of random noise. I guess I’m more like these Jets than I realized up till now. So, time… Lots more time needed.
