Unreal scene at the ER. Youngish woman yelling at nurse: “well I’m from Kentucky, where the doctors know what they’re doing. Doctors in Maine are more like veterinarians, if you ask me.” Young guy, perhaps on some sort of drugs: “maybe they thought you were a cow.” End scene.

One of our seniors from last year moved into his dorm room yesterday. His roommate moves in today, so he was alone reflecting last night. Called me out of the blue at 9PM to tell me he never would have made it to college without Cony football. Sports changes lives. Remember that.

Just got home from a hoop game and said, “Hi, Lincoln.” He replied from under a blanket on the couch, “Hi, Dadda.” He’ll be 7 years old in two weeks and that’s the first time he’s ever done that. He won’t give up. He works at it every day. He’s as tough as they come.

We’ve had a lot of special nights on this field, but I’ve never seen anything like tonight. You could feel the love in the entire venue. What a win. I can’t call my biggest fan right now, and that hurts, but tonight, I don’t need to, I know for a fact she saw it. And loved it.

My guy Lincoln starts first grade today. It’s been exactly six months since he’s been in school, and he simply won’t wear a mask, so I’m nervous. But, time and again, the compassion society has shown him has given him a chance to fit in. Fingers crossed he has a great first day.

Unprovoked, Lincoln looked out the window today and said “snow.” A good friend who was consoling me shortly after Lincoln’s diagnosis in 2017 said “you’ll celebrate things the rest of us take for granted.” He’s right. Today I smiled about “snow”...even as I shoveled it.

I feel for all HS football coaches, but particularly Hath and Soehren (and maybe others?), who have sons who would have been seniors this year. My senior year with my dad on the sideline is a top three athletic season for me. And we went 3-5. Can’t replace those Friday nights.

Today is Autism Awareness Day. Lincoln was diagnosed with autism in January of 2017, just before his 3rd birthday. He is a tough, smart, gritty little boy who happens to like to sing a little Frozen at his grandparents house. People accept him and love him everywhere he goes.

For the first time in his 6.5 years, Lincoln asked for something without prompting. We’ve been going on rides every day during quarantine just to break up the day. Yesterday at 11AM he came up to me unannounced and said, “Go for ride?” Greatest 3 word phrase I’ve ever heard.

7 on 7 is a summer activity. We like it in July. We like it because it means real football is on the horizon. We like it because it allows us to see some skill kids who have put in work over the offseason. We don’t like it as a replacement for tackle football.
