Early, Early Thursday Morning/ Sons And Football
Table of contents for 16/ Writing
Hey it’s three thirty in the morning and here I am at the computer! I was dreaming and having a conversation with someone about Charlize when suddenly there she was! And I was startled into awakedness.
I wish she wouldn’t jump out at me like that. Her beauty is rather overwhelming and when she in one of those aggressive characters she plays it’s impossible to keep the dream together. It vanishes.
But I went to bed early last evening so it’s alright. Nine to three is six hours. And it only takes about three to five minutes to exit earth and its concerns.
My younger son Zachary and the beautiful Ashley have parted ways. He moved out. She kept the dog Bruno. It’s sad when young lovers “divorce” but they had some good times and definitely learned some valuable lessons. Hopefully they will enjoy the rest of their college years.
I would encourage all young people to invest their time and energy in the freedom they have to grow and explore life. Learn to treasure the freedom you have as much as the love you feel for someone. Why go down the long road to domestic life now when every day can bring a new adventure?
Zachary told me he is going to go to Spain for his senior year at VCU. They have a coop program. I think he said he was going to stay in Barcelona. And he wants to start a shirt business at school. He went to Richmond City Town Hall to find out about licenses and insurance. He needs investors (me). He found an art student with experience in shirt design. Away we go!
I heard from my older son Jeremy yesterday. Sarah had to go back to Virginia Beach where her family live for something. So Jeremy is alone in a big house in Lynchburg for a few days. And he misses his young family. So he called his Dad. Isn’t that nice? We talked about the Washington DC pro football team. When he was growing up they were in their glory years. We would go to Jeremy’s soccer games and listen to them on the car radio. What blissful times we had when the soccer and the football both went well. Usually the football did and the soccer did not but we enjoyed travelling around the state together anyway.
The Washington DC pro football team (I believe they still associate themselves with Native American culture) have suddenly become amazingly good. Jeremy says it has a lot to do with their new coach Jim Zorn. But they have amazing players and their new quaterback Jason Campbell hasn’t turned the ball over in awhile. Maybe since the year started! Is that possible? His passes seem amazingly accurate. Jeremy says that Zorn used to be a quarterback and he has really helped him.
The coach wanted to give them Monday off after their great win over Philly but the players said they wanted to practice. They don’t want to have a let down against the teams that are coming up with poor records. How smart is that! How amazing too! Giving up a day off! Has this ever happened before anywhere?
Both Jeremy and Zachary are ecstatic about the team! Onward to the playoffs!
Maybe I will make some scrambled eggs. But only if I can find a pan that doesn’t have a Teflon surface. And then it will be time to read some of the blogs on the old blogroll. Or eat some egg rolls. Or go back to bed.
I’ll be there in a minute Charlize.
“Oh Hi Beth! Would you like some scrambled eggs?”
