Share the Ball, Keep the Memories

Alex picked up an assist and a bunch of rebounds in his game on Saturday. Coach D is really helping these kids learn to move without the ball and share it with whoever is open - there is much joy out on the court. The best kid on our team passes to everybody (even his sister) and I could not be prouder of this crew.

The boy was bushed after the early game and slept in the Rav on the way to the dentist. Good thing for him. The snow stopped but there were stretches of white-out conditions on 88 because of blowing snow across Illinois farm fields. That’s what I get for living in the backwoods and staying loyal to a pediatric dentist in the 630.

I’m an idiot.

I wish I brought Bill and Cousin Mike to the I Need Sleep show @ the House. They would have loved it. I picked up a sticker for Sweet Dee (the new nickname for my Mexican Tele) The guitar is black for now but will soon be bedecked with enough ugly yellow stickers to make it look awkward and big yellow birdish….just like the biggest loser on the only half-hour comedy I will go out of my way to watch on the intertubes or the tv.

One last cultural note, to anyone who sends me these lists of 80’s movies, music, trends and whatnot…there is but one 80’s tv thing I choose to remember

Neil Young’s This Note’s for You
