Current temperature: 17 degrees F
We are having a heat wave. I believe this is the fourth day in a row that I haven't had to plug my car in for the night or run out to it in fear of my nose freezing. It's nice, this January thaw, but I know winter is just waiting in the wings for the next act.
I haven't seen my oldest son for any considerable length of time since Monday...and his new love is Basketball. This is his first year playing and he totally loves it. He's tired, but there is a passion in him that is new and wonderful to experience. When I picked him up last Tuesday from a late game, he smiled sleepily and said, "We played great. We won a game and lost a game, but I learned so much watching the Varsity team. They know, Mom."
I wonder if Michael Jordan's mom was ever so proud.
