Middle School Dances

As I open up iTunes and put on some John Mayer, I am reminded this morning how great things are that I do not have to work today. Just being by myself with some music and ESPN is a wonderful thing.

It's Friday which means early morning practice for me. I think I lucked out because Tipton had a two-hour delay which meant that instead of starting at 6 o'clock we would start at 8 o'clock. I enjoyed the extra hours of sleep.

Practice went well I thought. There is a big dance at the middle school this evening so the good news is that everyone had a little more energy than usual. The bad news was that just about everyone had their nails done so there were a few less steals than normal.

It reminded me of the big winter dance that took place when I was in 7th grade. It would be foolish to believe that I was not as psyched up about it as my players were about their dance this evening.

The only difference is that I did not take as much consideration into how my nails looked. I was more worried about how my basketball tie looked.

To be honest, I think we played defense a lot better than normal so maybe we should make nail appointments mandatory. It's something to think about.

Well, I must return to my Internet surfing with my new blanket. My Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl Champion blanket arrived last evening and it is SO comfortable. Have a great Friday!
