John Y’s Musings from the Middle: A Lonely Basketball Goal

A seven foot basketball goal at a neighboring condo from the one we rented in Amelia Island, FL where I played basketball with my kids almost every spring break for nine years.

And probably will never see or play on again

The first few spring breaks the goal seemed big to my kids. And then about right. And then too small. And then too embarrassing to be seen playing on

For me, today, it seems too big —as I drive away for the last time
