Their time or mine?
Tough time of year for a guy like me… all kinds of choices, all conflicting. High school basketball playoffs, spring training baseball around the corner to go see and the weather’s so perfect I’d run or bike all weekend if I could.
Then there’s the family. My son had a Cub Scout camping trip over the weekend in Naples, the same night My Team had a basketball playoff game as an underdog against a huge rival. And I stink at camping.
But we went to Naples anyway. Froze all night, raccoons threatened to take over the campground and my air mattress leaked.
And I missed an amazing final-second victory. Bad decision.
But Sunday night, my son put his head on the pillow and had a huge Opie-like smile.
“Thanks, Dad,” he said. “I had the best time ever.”
