From as far back as I can remember, I’ve loved
sports. When I was a young boy, I
usually had a ball in my hand, a football, a baseball, or a basketball. I played all sports available when I was in
school. My dad and I listened to Florida
Gators football games on the radio in our living room for years. He took me to see football, basketball and
baseball games in Gainesville. After I
was married, I seldom missed an important game on TV. After I retired, I watched more games than
ever-- football, basketball, some baseball, track meets, volleyball, golf,
tennis, boxing, swimming. I plan my TV
watching around sports.
I know that Aloma and I are fortunate to be healthy
while so many people are critically ill with COVID-19, so I shouldn’t complain
about not having sports to watch. So I
watch news, updates on the stock market and the science channel during the day
and watch movies at night. I have
watched so many Hallmark movies that I can predict when a snowball fight is
about to begin between two lovers and when a kiss is going to be interrupted
and is not the final kiss that will seal the relationship. For some reason, I’m not interested in vampire
movies and movies with a dark theme.
Our lives are so boring that last week we planned
to go together to get money from the ATM.
I was really excited. Aloma
washed and dried her hair and took 30 minutes to decide what outfit to
wear. I have a big week coming up. I get to go to the doctor for a blood test.
