RE: "I shudder to think of the number of people who would happily high-five me in Memorial Stadium now who wouldn't if they knew."
If we ever were to meet, I would totally double-high-five you. Just because.
Interesting post and, as usual, thought-provoking.
Funny. I've grown up in the Deep South all my life. We're in the midst of rec ball soccer season, and Thing 1 is doing his Bad News Bears Play Soccer gig.
At an adjacent field in the complex, just as there was Tuesday, was a family, the mother of whom wore a purple hijab. Families of other ethnicities all around. We tend to get a bad rap down here in the land of cotton, but, you know, I think it's pretty dope that nobody is getting up in arms in a small town soccer complex over that. Kids are just playing soccer. Parents and family and friends are there to watch and chill and hang.
I wish more of our society would just chill and hang and quit seeing Satan/Shaitan/boogeymen behind every frakkin' tree.
