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 operating continuous it appears. My surge in exercise has nothing to do with this weblog and even with wine; it has all the things to do with basketball.
Two weeks earlier than the beginning of the college yr, the pinnacle basketball coach at my son’s faculty unexpectedly stop. 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 obtained to witness firsthand what an entire catastrophe this “coach” was. Had he come again, I’d have stop.
Sufficient about that (not less than for now). What has me operating round throughout city this fall is the brand new teaching employees, who’ve introduced unimaginable vitality, a wealth of data, and a successful perspective (with out including anybody from exterior the college and regardless of dropping 4 starters from final yr’s group, the Varsity is at the moment 7-0 with a median successful margin north of 30 factors a sport).
The brand new employees can be younger (millennial younger), amped up on vitality drinks, and with an insatiable need to win. And that has, effectively, saved me busy. Actually busy.
However that isn’t the thrilling information I wish to share with you right now (though it is thrilling). No, right now 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!
