Marthin Luther King Holiday!

Martin Luther King Day! A day of reflection and remembrance. And basketball. Sitting here wondering if the Bulls and Hilltoppers are going to get it together. Both teams suffer from the same malodies. Confidence and Smarts, or the lack thereof. Glenbard West is now 0 and 3 in the West Suburban Silver. I fear a .500 year is slipping away quickly. Sure wish I could change some things that weigh heavily on me. One is the increasing pain my Mother is dealing with. Even though I'm many miles away it is eating me alive as well. Another is my step-dad's failing health. He's bravely fighting the constant on-slaught of aging. Respiratory issues and mini-strokes are right on his heels. Combine these with his worry about my Mom and it's a tough existence. Another is my keen ability to slide through each day with little or no progress on the main goal.....what the hell am I going to do when I grow up? Oh well, a blog is an escape. But it's also good because it's a record of my thoughts and failings. Keep writing and keep the Faith.
