There is a lot of fear in people's voices as they talk about the economy. It seems that it will get worse before it gets better. Everyone seems to have an opinion on how the economy should be fixed. Still, here we are.
That is all I have for fear today. I would like to brag about my daughter. We went to her basketball game last night, and she was awesome. She got to play point guard for more than half of the game, and made two three pointers and two outside shots for two points each. She did such good job of looking for open people, and spreading the ball around to everyone. We really got to see what the "non-starters" had to offer. I especially like the way she communicates with her teammates. She has a really cool way of letting people know where they belong and what needs to happen, and she isn't bossy about it either. This surprises me because I remember her at 4 years old. She could really boss a kid around. I don't remember what we did to break the bossy, but it worked. I think in basketball she has learned how she would like to be treated, given a chance, and wants to be sure others have theirs too. I guess that's what happens when you work your butt off and have a lot of time to watch from the bench. For the longest time, it seemed like, even when she got to play, she wasn't playing. The ball just never got to her. She's gotten very good at going to get the ball herself, instead of waiting, and I think in her last couple of games she's earned a little respect that has been long overdue. I think she may have gotten a nickname out of it too. The Zone Buster. I am very proud, can you tell.
