November 2017
This year, I hired a college student for the first time to mow the grass and other odd jobs from time to time, as opposed to the usual high school student. She turned out to be a women’s basketball scholarship student at a local college and turned out to be a real good worker. When I first talked to her about the job, I asked if she had any transportation. She said other than her 2 legs, no she didn’t. She was fully prepared to walk the 2 miles to work from town.
She invited and I agreed to come to see her play basketball. The wife was all for the idea, having been a basketball player in high school. So, we went to the Homecoming game at the College.
At 5′ 9″ at my tallest, I’ve never had much interest in basketball. But, I’m willing and by the time the game was over, I was ready to coach college basketball. I knew each player on each team and what each one did best. And what they did wrong. And what they should do to improve.
Hell this round ball stuff is easy.
BTW, this was the third time in my life I’ve seen a basketball game live and the third time I’ve watched any basketball game from beginning to end. The first 2 were 8 year old grand daughters.
Leisure time for your grumpy Uncle/Brother Dave.
