[Old School Hound]

Thinking about something a teaching friend told me on Monday. He's been a huge Reds, Bengals, UK fan like me for years and years. Saw him for the first time in a couple or three years. He was a different guy. Looked like Father Time was starting to takes its toll on his body. Said he has new perspective. Sports is not very important. If Corbin or the Bengals lose, it doesn't affect my life in any measurable way. Doesn't put money in my bank account or take any of the plaque out of my arteries. He said that he doesn't fret about ballgames anymore.

That's what I meant a few months ago when I said that when UK loses, I move on. Games used to bother me for weeks. Now they don't sting for long like they used to. Perspective that comes with being an old man, I guess.


On to Hazard... We've got a lot of work to do to be good.
