Re-reading "Rabbit, Run," with its masterful opening chapter, got me thinking about high school sports stars. For many (most?), their high school stardom is the pinnacle of their lives. After graduation, their fame vanishes along with the friendship of hangers-on and the adulation of the opposite sex, to be replaced in many cases by a boring job and humdrum existence. It is as if life after high school is merely an aftermath. But, I suppose, it is better to have one brief, shining moment than none at all.

If my grandson continues to con us into buying him expensive things at Toys 'R Us, I am going to have to go back to work. (But what kind of a job could I get -- punching anuses in teddy bears?)*
I would rather listen to a recording of a 1942 "Great Gildersleeve" radio sitcom than watch most of the dreck that is on TV today. (But I watch the dreck anyway.)
Strikingly sports fans are potentially at an incomprehensible sensible position. You can find the standard redirections channels on the web. Today you can watch international sporting events online with video spouting. https://mediosindependientes.org/
