Wow, between basketball and ping pong, today was a full day. The Boss's coffee tasted like shrimp, The New ate his own saliva for lunch, and Ed sent emails from a rocking chair. So you see, a lot was going on.
News from the homefront:
Jessica has quit softball and plans to run middle distances on the track this spring. But Jeff will only let her if she keeps her grades up. Josh, meanwhile, is practicing baseball in the old fieldhouse, and Jaclyn is unfortunately ill. And Jacob's new roommate chews tobacco, but only in the company of men. Janet started a diet with Jeff, but may be cheating with Hershey Kisses and Polar Pops. Keep it up, troops!
A story my old neighbor Rachel told me one morning on our drive to school:
Rachel's dad was driving home from work in Indianapolis the night before. He was about to make a turn off the state highway onto the county road we lived on. There was a car in front of him going a safe speed, and one coming in the opposite direction that looked a little reckless. Suddenly it swerved across the double yellow line and - SMASH - right into the car in front of Rachel's dad. He parked his car and jumped out. He rushed to the car he'd been behind, took hold of the man behind the wheel, and held him as he died... Turns out the victim was an Indiana State Representative and a drunk driver took him out. That's the spot right there, Rachel said.
