paradoxum

It has been a while since my last update. I'm not on a blog fast for lent or anything. It's nothing that spiritual. I'm just preoccupied w/ other things. One of those "other things" is coaching basketball! This weekend we played in the USSSA Spring Shoot Out and my team (Charlotte Storm) won the Boys 13U division. It was incredibly fun.

My son (Luke) plays for me and the truth is, when he's on the court he's just my #2 guard like anyone else. When we get off the court, he's my son. Well, he averaged over 22 points a game this weekend and lit up one of our rivals for 30 points! I scored 30 and 40 points in High School games so I had a time w/ him last night where I welcomed him to the "30 point club". He liked it. I'm wondering when/if I'll welcome him to the "40 point club"...and if, someday, I'll ask him what it's like to be in the "50 point club". I'm so proud of him. Of course, my whole team played so hard. I am proud of ALL Of them, but this morning, with my "dad" hat on, I'm especially proud of him.

BTW, Luke is on the bottom left (kneeling).
