“You are going to feel like hell if you never write the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves of your heart — your stories, visions, memories, visions and songs. Your truth, your version of things, your own voice. That is really all you have to offer us. And that’s also why you were born.”

Sunday and Monday was the Kentucky Governor’s Cup Academic Competition. Ryan is on the Newburg Middle School regional champion quick recall team. The were competing so Ann and I spend the better part of Sunday and Monday watching the competition at the Galt House in Louisville. I had no idea what a big deal the Governor’s Cup is. There were over 2400 students competing from all over the state. I was very impressed with kids I saw.

The highlight for us was Ryan’s quick recall team. They did a great job and made it to the quarter finals finishing seventh in the state.

Congratulations to Ryan and his team!!!

It Must Be Spring

Warm sunshine … gentle breezes … BASEBALL!

It must be spring. Today was Jerod and Blake baseball team’s first practice. I have agreed to help out coaching. Daniel is also an assistant coach. The practice was good. The head coach is very good. He coached the team last year and they won their championship. His philosophy is that the most important thing is for the kids to learn how to play baseball and enjoy the experience. Winning is a bonus.
