Olympics, Company, Oh My!

 



The summer moves on, and we have excitement ahead. 

Actually, excitement in our lives has been going on all summer.  So much so that these are times I'm glad I do a blog post every morning because, otherwise, the fast-moving pace of where we've been would be a blur. 

Last spring I thought this was going to be a relatively quiet summer.  

Little did I know, though, that a host of surprises and unpredicted events would keep coming along. So far, it's been great fun.

This week, we're gearing up for those five 19-year-olds who will arrive here Saturday and stay for a couple of nights. 

And, of course, we're as excited as everyone about the start of the Summer Olympics this Friday.  

Even this day is filled with activity and "to do's."  

I start physical therapy this afternoon in hopes that my knee will get better and that I can learn some methods and activities for keeping both knees healthy. 

Meanwhile, Bill is heading off fishing with Willie this morning.  Tonight, I'll be getting together with some former students for a reunion and gabfest. 


Speaking of Willie, this morning he posted his 100th edition of the Idaho Basketball Coaching Podcast. 

He started podcasts during the Pandemic and since then, the production has taken off, adding a newsletter as an accessory. 

The podcasts involve Willie interviewing basketball coaches at all levels (even NBA) about certain strategies they use for team building and the X's and O's of basketball. 

This morning's edition features Ryan Josephson, head boys basketball coach for Camas Washington's high school program.  The focus of today's program is conceptual offense. 

Congratulations to my son on this pursuit which follows his number one interest:  basketball.  

It has taken self discipline, vision and perseverance, and when you get to Episode 100, you have established an entity worthy of great pride. 

Keep up the important work for basketball lovers. 

Here's are a couple of links for listening on Apple or through Willie's substack. It's also available on Spotify and X (Twitter).   



As noted earlier, a busy day lies ahead. Those plants need watering and lots of berries and beans need picking. 

Happy Wednesday.
