Sitting at the house 🏠 last night, Moneyball is in the DVD 📀 player because if I’m at the house there’s always something that Aaron Sorkin created in my DVD player.
I had just shared a laugh with Shannon Dalton about the weeks we just finished up when my Wife called from out in Missouri, where she is out helping take care of her Mother 👩.
The journey of what are objective here in Carroll County is has not truly seen the light of day . OneofUs.Care is something we created in hopes of making the World 🌎 in General and Carroll County in particular a Better Place. The number one part of that Mission is to flood society with all of the Positivity we can.
Life is hard for all of us, I myself wake up each day to a pile of 29 pills 💊 that are designed to get me through the day. We all face challenges and we all deal with life and death on a daily basis. So I search out ways to try and make people smile, everyday, no matter how life has treated me the day before. This morning 🌄 it was penning a tribute to Kevin Burress. Letting him know that I see you Brother, I see the good you are doing for our youth.
Let’s get back to the number at the Top of the Page (2,098). There were days over the past three ➕ years where that number would end up at 12.
When my Wife heard the number she asked what happened ?
Borrowing a Aaron Sorkin line from Newsroom (which I do a great deal) I said I guess “I wrote better.”
My mission is simple, trying to help our Youth in anyway imaginable. There were a set of circumstances in my life that prevented me from having the opportunity to be a teacher but I worked hard in life to make sure our Children would have the chance to touch lives.
We netted a College Professor, a teacher and one of our Son’s wife is also a teacher. We haven’t lost the battle, even though plenty of people will tell you we have. There’s hope and we can get this done, even if its one person at a time.
If it appears that I am trying to search out others like myself, its because thats exactly 💯% what I am trying to do and will be doing until I can’t function anymore.
Notice the writing ✍ style, 100% positive and supportive to all on an equal basis.
There’s no way to know how many of the 2,000+ readers will continue to check in but we are Thankful that 🙏 they did.
The piece on Alyssa Ervin came from the Heart ❤ and being able to frame the events that led to Ethan Richardson to singing the National Anthem was a blessing but my highlight yesterday was receiving text message updates from Mrs. Dalton for what I think was just over four hours. Why would I give up my Saturday afternoon to create a running 🏃♂️ post about Swimming 🏊♂️ and Academics ? If you know anything about what we are chasing that question would answer itself.
Monday night our JV Girls 👧 will be playing at James River up in Buchanan. Going to James River is worse than going to Alleghany because everyone knows about the line – Why do I have to go there ?
I’m looking forward to the trip up because I see the Love 💘 those parents have for their little Girls and that warms the Heart ❤
