Time changes everything!!!

Twenty years ago, give or take 5 years, I would get up to my alarm at 3:00 and get the paper route finished.  Then I would shower, eat and be off to school by 7:00 AM.  After school I would go down to the locker room and get ready to coach the boys soccer, the girls soccer or baseball depending on the calendar.  Then I may hurry off to Trinity and coach another team.  I would arrive home, eat and maybe do some homework from school and then almost literally fall into bed to prepare for another day.
Well that was a long time ago.  Today I am looking at a busy week.  A PT appt, a Dr. appt, a tennis match, a villa party to prepare for and then an end of the year tennis party on Sunday.  I think WAY back I maybe did as much in a day as I do now in a week.  Like I said "time changes everything".  I am not saying I was doing things in the right way back then nor am I saying things are in perfect order now, just that as time flies by life flies by too and changes in the process.

I remarked to Terry, as we watched a bit of NCAA BB, that I wondered if my free throw record at Sargent Central still stood.  Well I said it with tongue in cheek because I do not think those kind of things were even thought about way back then.  I did make 19 free throws without missing in my senior year.  I remember missing my first one against Britton SD on a night Mr. Woler almost did not start me because I forgot my pull up fancy socks.  In the end one of the subs gave me socks so I could start the game.  Can't remember if no socks were my fault or Moms.  Well Mom is not here to defend herself so I will say it was my fault.  Anyway, in my mind, that is my claim to fame, 19 free throws in a row!  I could also mention that my scoring average was about 19 per game that year but then if I say that I need to say we, as a team, layed an egg in the first round of the district tournament.  Some good memories and some not so good.






I did not decline and that is not me because I was #34!!!


I have been kind of good at working on rehabbing my leg.  Some exercises, swimming 2 or 3 times a day and yesterday I actually went on a walk around the Villas. It was ridiculous as a short walk like that made me tired and my hips ache.  I guess that means I will not be able to go full force ahead on the tennis court in a couple of weeks.  Well I may not get on the courts for a month or so really.   IF I would do too much and reinjure my leg I may do something bad, not saying what!!!

Enough as I need to go to the courts and then get some things done around the house.  For some reason my FP seemed to be extra good this morning.
