Ten. Two Thousand, Two Hundred & Four

  1. Sunday.

  2. Ankles warmed by the fire. Coffee. A replay of last night’s game.

  3. I ask him if now is the time to go harder. He says he thinks it is.

  4. Sunlight.

  5. Long weekends where the kids wear the same clothing item multiple days in a row even though they promise they’re going to take a shower and change.

  6. Underdog upsets.

  7. I realize that the only reason I am feeling bothered is that I still care too much about what they think. Do I know my goals? Do I trust that I’m doing the right thing? Do I see results? Do I know what my weaknesses are? Am I making a plan to develop them?

  8. She asks me if my passport is ready. I tell her there’s no way I can go to Italy in November - that’s basketball season.

  9. I think if you get it, you really get it.

  10. Tomorrow.
