Update:it was a beautiful late summer Saturday afternoon.The fifth graders from Winnebago Middle School took to the gridiron to face the powerhouse team from Stillman Valley.Thier best player was a half-head taller than anybody else on the team and had long blonde hair.I told DD I was surprised they let boys grow their hair that long in these small towns.She said it wasn’t a boy.It was a girl and she was fierce.The ‘Bago boys fought valiantly but fell 0-36 to drop their record to 0-4.Dad and stepdad tried to cheer grandson up by telling him they won or lost as a team and the blocks and tackles he missed were not the cause of them losing.Then granddad imparted some wisdom on him.
did you have fun?
Yeah.
You wanna come back and play again next week?
Yeah.
That’s what matters.This is fun.If it was work,they’d call it work.They don’t.Its fun.When you’re old enough to work you can worry about making mistakes.Right now you’re supposed to have fun.Mom and dad will take care of the work stuff.
That seemed to be enough to get him out of his funk for awhile,anyway.Growing up is hard enough. There’s no sense putting pressure on the kids

The Chicago Way in Obamaland
Obama’s crony Chicago politics is coming to the fore yet again. In Chicago, it’s not what you can do that counts, but who you know.

There must be something about the White Hut itself that he cannot tolerate being there.is it because so many old white men lived there first?
