Reading his list, I think to myself that life is simple when you're a 10 year old boy.
It's not for all kids. I hate this fact of life.
Tomorrow, my son's football team competes in a playoff game to get to a championship. It will be raining, we'll be cheering them on as we shiver from the wind coming off the ocean, but we won't be complaining. It's a privilege. It will also be my birthday, and of course my wish is for glory.
Not just for my son's team.
The story of Crenshaw High in South Central Los Angeles reads like a movie (several movies in fact, but that's another blog), but it's non-fiction. From the homeless student players to the losing record, to the gangs in the area. But they're one game away from a State Championship, thanks in part to their benefactor, Snoop Dogg. Go Crenshaw! I will be thinking of you, wishing championship bowl games, dreams fulfilled, and a peaceful world for all kids. I will be 39, and you will be #1.
