Covid has changed life in many ways, but for small town Texas Fri night high school football playoffs are still BIG. The smaller the town, the bigger they root for their team.

My grandson and grand son-in-law coach for San Saba (div 2a - pretty small). We are headed to Henrietta for a 7 pm game (other team from the panhandle so that is at least a three hour drive for each team so crowd may be a bit sparse). Will only seat 50 % of capacity, no mass sitting together, but still fun. Will have our daughter, son-in-law, grandaughter, and 2 great grand sons there so even if we can't get in to see the game we still get a few minutes with them (all wearing masks) so not a loss at all. Only about a 2 hour drive from here in the Metroplex.

I wish the country as a whole could see the values one sees in the young ones from small town USA. They are still good kids with strong family values. Sadly can't say the same for bigger towns in many cases.

Great holiday week coming up and then we should seeing some great things (week after next) finally come to our investment here. Maybe not share price right away, but positive trial results and our fortunes are made and the world may be able to get back on an even keel.

Another plus is the weather will be in the 60's.
