These final a number of weeks have been a little bit of a blur. I got here again from France in the midst of October and since then I’ve been working continuous it appears. My surge in exercise has nothing to do with this weblog and even with wine; it has every thing to do with basketball.
Two weeks earlier than the beginning of the college 12 months, the top basketball coach at my son’s faculty unexpectedly give up. After going 26-110 (sure, you learn that proper, he received a whopping 19% of his video games), he left the college, thank goodness.
For the final seven years of his tenure, I used to be the J.V. coach on the faculty and acquired to witness firsthand what a whole catastrophe this “coach” was. Had he come again, I might have give up.
Sufficient about that (at the least for now). What has me working round throughout city this fall is the brand new teaching workers, who’ve introduced unbelievable power, a wealth of information, and a successful perspective (with out including anybody from exterior the college and regardless of shedding 4 starters from final 12 months’s workforce, the Varsity is at present 7-0 with a median successful margin north of 30 factors a sport).
The brand new workers can be younger (millennial younger), amped up on power drinks, and with an insatiable need to win. And that has, effectively, saved me busy. Actually busy.
However that’s not the thrilling information I wish to share with you as we speak (though it is thrilling). No, as we speak I wish to share that not solely is my December article out within the Spring Department Plus journal, however the article was additionally picked up by the Chicago Wine Press. That’s proper, I’m now in one other publication!
Earlier than you get too excited for me, it stays to be seen if this might be a daily gig, however for now, go over there and take a look at my article, I feel they did a wonderful job with the structure.
