And That's A Desperate Way To Look For Someone Who Is Still A Child

10/8/2020

A buddy from my sportswriting days told me about a conversation he had with his six-year-old daughter yesterday.

     Daisy: Daddy, are you gonna get COVID at work?

     Ben: No, honey. That's why I watch games at home and the team does most press stuff by phone and internet.

     Daisy: But what if they make you go to a party and everybody gets COVID and then Momma gets COVID, too?

     Ben: Not gonna happen. I'll just go stand in the unemployment line.

     (Daisy thinks about this for a second.)

     Daisy: I'll stand in line with you.

     We need to do better for those who depend on us to make the right decisions. VOTE!

Namaste,
Jas

About this blog...

Someone asked about an essay I write for the front page some time ago. I'd always thought of the home page as something akin to a Buddha Board. Whatever I wrote for it was there as long as I needed it, and then it disappeared. Maybe I do need to save those pieces. At least for now, I'll put them here for anyone bored enough to read them.
