I will be leaving in a short while to go watch 4 of the boys in my class who are on the JV basketball team for our school play. It is considered a home game because we play here in town at a borrowed gym. Unfortunately, the gym at our school does not meet league requirements. Plans have been in the works for at least 20 years to raise the money to build a new gym, but the project is still in the planning phase. I try to make it to at least one of the home games every year, though I haven't been since the pandemic. I am looking forward to watching, and the boys seemed very excited yesterday when I told them I'd be there. Other than that and grocery shopping, my only plans for the weekend involve writing. The missus is painting the hall and stairwell. Not that it needs painting, and she's painting it a blue only 1 shade lighter than what's already there, but if she doesn't have a project, she goes stir-crazy. What plans do you have for this weekend?

That's cool, basketball was the best sport I was good at. I was good for a few years then just realized I am no where that good to even make college, but still love and know the sport pretty good. I hope they get the funds to get that little court built, because it can literately save many poor youths lives and not to even make it to college or pro but just make them good people.

When properly handled, youth sports can be a very beneficial endeavor. Sadly, in too many communities, sports are prioritized over more important things like school.

The basketball was fun to watch. I never enjoy painting. I also didn't get much writing done, but I did make a video about my Buzby Beach books.

We've just got home from a house-sit so I have some laundry to do along with settling back in to our own place.

Isn't it funny how you have to get used to your own house again after being away for a while? I feel that way when we get home after a long camping trip.

@DWDavis And we've only been here about 18 months. The first time we came back after a spell away, it was really strange. We couldn't remember where anything was.
