IT'S BASKETBALL SEASON AGAIN

We're starting the season of hard benches, back rests and anything we can think of to last out three basketball games a night. Maybe more. I really need my easy chair for games.

Friday night all our various teams play Lyons here. Since I have two boys playing, that is what I talk about, the teams my grandsons are on. They are the ones I've followed since they were little squirts and played at the City Hall on Saturdays. I'm not a sports editor of the newspaper and aren't you glad of that? So I don't even try to give equal time to everyone. I guess for those who want more said about their teams, I'll just encourage them to start up their own blog. They are cheap and fun.

Except for watching men's KU basketball, I generally prefer to watch women play. I love watching our high school girls play and for several years they have provided a better spectator sport than the guys. It's just that I don't have staying power for everything.

Today I'll find out where I'm supposed to be tomorrow at 4:30 when the action starts. According to the schedule the freshmen, junior varsity and varsity all play...probably beginning at the city hall. The boys have really been looking forward to their first game and the rest of us are excited to watch.
