I was approached by the neighborhood kids a couple of days ago. They wanted to see if I would be willing to go as a guardian (or cab driver) for them to see if the Roosevelt Rough Riders could earn themselves a playoff spot with a win over the dreaded Churchill Chargers.
The game was a great game. Long touchdown passes. Long touchdown runs. Great celebratory dances after quarterback sacks. Even an interception in the end zone to stop a long, scoring drive. But in the end, the Rough Riders can up short 24-20.
Needless to say, it really helps put me in the mindset for writing "Mayhem in a Pill." It really helps me remember what I felt when I made my way down the halls of Roosevelt many decades ago.
It was fun. I had fun. The kids had fun. But everyone would have had more fun with a win but that's life.
My spirits were greatly improved this morning when I checked and saw that just under ten days after posting chapter 39 it reached over 10,000 downloads. And not that I'm really keeping score or anything like that, but the overall score also rose from 8.11 to 8.16.
I strive to be ever so humble and I am diligently working to continue writing chapter 40 for those of you eager for another read. I know I am.
Thanks everybody.
