fridays

ok, so mm has begun to look forward to fridays........as the older son tends to come home to find a quiet place to study.....and there is usually 5 for dinner...a full table at our house.........the discussion last evening was about ecw's high school in cincinnati- walnut hills.....a city-run college prep high school with competitive entrance, but not with the big tuition of private high schools.......according to memory, the makeup of this school was about 1/3 jewish kids, 1/3 black sports ringers, and 1/3 everybody else.........he recalled that during a gym class baseball game, he was praised for 'running pretty well for a white boy'.............and there is always the story of the 'jewish blond bombshell' that he took to prom one year.......my children love that story..........for the record, walnut hills is the alma mater of steven speilburg's mother, and sarah jessica parker's mother.........how do i know that?...because i read the alumni newsletter when it comes.........the entire discussion came up because ecw had a couple wearing matching black adidas track suits come into the bike shop to look around......turns out they were in town overnight with their son, a football player who is looking at centre college.....the father is an athletic director at a high school on the west side of cincinnati.....a place that ecw calls the wrong side of town solely because he was from the east side of town, and in those days the twain did not meet.......anyway.......he sent them over to trc to look around and consider happy hour and/or dinner..........also turns out that they are staying at the b&b run by our not-so-beloved mayor.......anyway, should i start to wear matching black track suits....at least when my spouse is wearing his black track suit, then it is time to pull the plug.............please put me out of my misery.......................
