Out for a walk and came across this fine young man repairing a sign at Holdrege Elementary that was damaged by last night’s winds. Because of his unsolicited good deed, I stopped by his home to make Lucas an honorary ⁦ @HoldregeDusters ⁩ maintenance worker. Thanks Lucas!

High school sports can tear your heart & sometimes cause you to question a lot of things. I’ve always contended that they are a microcosm of life. Participation allows you to better deal w/what lies ahead after H.S. Those that don’t take advantage of them are missing out.

After last night’s rehearsal, technically I think Jordyn and Davon are ready to be married today. I am not sure if I am quite ready to pass her off yet but I take comfort in knowing they are better together.

Educators have felt a punch to the gut this year. Parents of seniors have felt a punch to the gut this year. Some of us have taken both punches. It is important that we are grateful for what we have and not fret on what has been taken. One has value. The other has none.
