...April Day

Today....my district is closed for no reason.....we don't question...we just love.....last year I bought a car....my son's love of baseball was costing us a mortgage in gasoline....the old Exploder sits in the garage.....the new Honda is what we take almost everywhere.......maybe today it gets a bday wash......38 mpg.....it's been hit twice and we weren't hurt.....I should write a commercial.....I won't....because I'm from a long line of Ford people.....my family doesn't embrace my choice.....
this April day....we're catching up on rest....it was a wild baseball weekend...early mornings, high winds, cold temps......and excellent games....our boys almost pulled off the impossible.....somehow we ended up playing the number one seeded team in our fourth game....they were from Montana....twelve-year-olds in Montana look like college freshmen......maybe when they are off the grid they don't have a birth certificate....maybe they just count teeth or something.....any way.....we lost 10-9......jaw clencher until the end....My son would have been the winning run but he was left stranded at second....still an excellent game...
we grabbed his bestie and went to see 42......I knew that it would be heart wrenching......I wasn't ready for them to both cry.....I think it might have been their first exposure to racial slurs....the N word is not a pretty word....doors with WHITE ONLY written on them.....I hope they no longer exist.....I won't say more...just go see the movie....
