Who was it who said “You don’t own your kids, you just borrow them.”  I feel like a “successful” parent, having helped to bring up two responsible young men and set them out into the world, to work, play (music), and start their own family and family-like friendships.  So now what do I do?  Go to work, watch basketball and write this blog?

Since my last post, on time disorientation, it has taken my nervous system several days to adjust to this time change, with a serious dip in my energy level.  I agree with my friend PeggiO, Daylight Savings Time is a counterproductive anachronism which should be done without.

NBA update:  Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, the Lakers are now 0-5 and proving friend Paul Greenberg right.  They came the closest to a win last night against a young energetic Phoenix Suns team (I shut it off after one quarter but watched the rest just now), but Kobe reverted to his “me” strategy, making a few notable plays but missing even more makeable baskets throughout the game.  And he missed four free throws, which would have made a difference.  He went 14 for 37 from the field, 23 big misses.

Jeremy had a good game, 18 points, 9 for 10 from the foul line, but with Kobe hogging the ball again it was hard to get the offense into any rhythm, especially at the end of the game, when the team got to within three points of the lead.

I sound kind of downbeat, don’t I?  Oh well, things usually look up after they’ve been down.  We’re going with Jonny and Katie to see Stevie Wonder next week.  That should be fun.

Thanks for reading, friends.
