My son is ever the wallflower when it comes to events at school. He tried out for the middle school track team, but as the season draws to a close, still hasn’t qualified to run in any event. When asked why he hasn’t yet qualified, he hems and haws, coming up with obtuse excuses. From what [...]

A hectic night
