Even Time

Tuesday Nov 22

Forget some of the stuff I said at the end of the last post. I was fucked up on allergy meds. That's my excuse - what's yours super committee?!?!?

Box dust opened little cuts in my face in the last two days and I think doing all that yard work aggravated some shit in my head - and I look totally high.

Bought Alex a metronome and he kicked butt on his Ode to Joy. Well, technically it's Beethoven's Ode to Joy, but the boy seems happy enough when he's playing it.

I never used a metronome or learned how to play a piece by Beethoven. That explains a lot.

Took the boy to his first hoops practice of the year. He loves basketball. This season he's moved up to the 5th and 6th grade league. This is the first time he's not the biggest kid out there. He expressed some concern about this after practice.

Me: "Ok, you're no longer the biggest kid on the court. Now you will have to rely on your skill and coaching."

Alex: "Uh oh."

Pounded through tons of stuff at work so I could pound down a bunch of food and booze with a clear conscious on Thursday. God Bless America.
