Amid all the madness swirling around us in our increasingly crazy political world these days, I wanted to share just a little bit of normalcy with you today.
"The simple joy of this part of American life hasn’t changed. This is a piece of America the politicians and the media and the social meddlers haven’t managed to ruin and destroy yet. Let’s hope we can keep that from ever happening." Well said my friend! Enjoy those simple pleasures with family and don't let anyone interfere.
Very well written. My Dad was a ref too - in Dallas in the 70s before he moved us to Wyoming. He taught me how to be a ref and taught me everything in the world about every sport and took me to games he was officiating. Isn't it cool how you can get into these games without paying an arm and a leg and can get a great seat and sometimes you can actually stand on the sideline or at the end of the end zone or even roam around so you've always got the best view. During Covid, I volunteered to be on the chain gang, because it was literally the only way I would be allowed into the stadium. The chain gang always has the second best "seats" in the house. The refs have the best. Very cool.
Great reflection, David. It’s precisely this quality and freedom of life that the same among us strive to preserve.
Sounds wonderful and reminds me of playing, watching and coaching little league baseball. Thank you.
Thank you David for the walk down memory lane.
‘Merica. The way it should stay.
Great article, thank you!
All of the normalcy must be killed for the great reset.

Great post, David! We all have similar fond memories. A simpler time.
