Second semester is underway. It's nice knowing everyday gets us a little closer to spring and then summer. I got into the pool today during lunch and enjoyed a brisk swim with a teacher friend who's looking at retiring in the next couple of years. I understood her excitement to reinvent herself. I'm not really close to retirement. I've got at least 10 more years if I retire early at 55 which I like to think about, but I shouldn't.
After school I had to run downtown for a meeting and then I had to rush back before 6pm to pick up Balt from daycare. He had a very active day, so it was nice to drop him off at home and not worry about walking him so that I could go to Jessi's basketball game. They played West, which is a big local rival. Jessi's been playing against many of the girls on that team since she was in elementary school playing at the YMCA. BUT the West team has somehow made it's way to the top 10 teams in the state. A mom was explaining to me that back in middle school the West girls were practicing everyday and playing year round. It's really paid off for them now. There's a lot of excitement in their gym. Our girls lost 26-50, but made a good effort. Jessi said they're the most aggressive team she plays. I remember her saying the same thing about them back in middle school.
