"I am trying to hold in one steady glance / all the parts of my life." — Adrienne Rich, from the poem "Toward the Solstice"

What we’re doing: basketball

October 30, 2008

I realize I’ve been too quiet lately; I wish I had more time to write here. I wish I had more time, period. But, here’s what our family has been up to the past few weeks:

Basketball,
basketball,
being sick with fever / sore throat / virus / whatever,
basketball,
work and school,
basketball,
I spent several days last week in Baton Rouge at a work conference,
basketball,
basketball,
work and school,
grocery shopping,
basketball,
Kyle’s school music program is tonight,
basketball,
getting ready for Halloween,
basketball.

Yeah, that’s most of it. We signed Kyle up for basketball at SportZone and the YMCA, and we signed Ryan up for YMCA – so that’s potentially six hours of basketball per week, if you figure one hour for each game and one hour of practice for each team. Ryan had two games last Saturday, plus his team pictures – on their first day of playing! Kyle had a game Friday evening at SportZone, and Saturday morning at the Y (though not physically at the Y, which would make things a little easier – no, his games are at an elementary school that’s maybe a ten-minute drive from the Y). To top it off, Jeff had signed up to coach Ryan’s team, with Rick as his assistant coach and Jesse on the same team, but at the coaches’ meeting, Jeff found out that a coach for Kyle’s Y team hadn’t been finalized – so yes, Jeff is coaching that team, too. So, to the potential six hours of actual basketball (because the SportZone team hasn’t practiced the last couple weeks, other conflicts), add all of Jeff’s preparation time for practice and games, and our travel time back and forth, and yeah, we’re basically doing basketball almost every day. And, Jeff’s city league team will be playing on Wednesdays starting next week. He’s been doing that close to 20 years now…hmmm, I gotta ask him when he actually started that, IF he even remembers. 😉 Anyway, not much time to write, hope I can write again by about Thanksgiving, and maybe report on something besides basketball. Maybe.
