ok, so today....on my first actual day off from my new job......i took my youngest to the bus at 8:15 am........in my pajamas.........because i was in no mood to get dressed yet............i missed most of her 9:30 am game.........which was contested at the 'city' middle school in harrodsburg, my new 'community'...............scw went with me to both her morning and afternoon games.......and we drove different routes to and from.....for the record.........there is no route that will take me from our house to my new office without crossing railroad tracks...............friday, i had to turn around in the middle of the road to escape a slowly moving train that was between me and my new job..............luckily, the train was going so slow i crossed the tracks in burgin before the train arrived.............trains could make me late on some ill-timed day...............there were numerous schools at this tournament...........the last team we played...the cross-town rival......was the only team not 'diverse'.............i was not surprised to see this..............the cross-town school is the haven for those who wish to escape the 'diversity' of the danville school system...........and those parents seem to not notice that this makes their system appear 'white-flight'........but enough of that.............as we were leaving.....a little girl called out to my child........'c.c.....have a nice weekend....see you monday'...................c.c. who?......i didn't need to ask.....my child has reinvented herself as c.c..........her incomplete initials.......... and why not?...........when she is so abused as to have no cable tv, no personal cell phone......no country club membership, and no address in town within walking distance of her friends............such a pitiful existence..........just ask her.....she will tell you all..........
