Basketball!

21 February 2021: Earlier today, I felt the urge to just sit on my steps and think about how normal (life before the pandemic) might never come back. It's a feeling that overwhelms me sometimes. 

So when later in the afternoon I got to watch the Shepherd Women's b-ball team play their first game in almost a year (via ESPN+), it made me so happy. I could feel the big old smile on my face as I watched our girls back in action. They gave Liberty (a D1 school) a run for their money and only lost by 8 points. 

They'll only play a handful of game this season, but this one was a blast and a tiny glimpse of normal.

Also, watching these girls play in a big fancy gym with a professional crew (on my HD TV) added some sweetness.
