ENERGY SOLUTIONS

and all that...

tonight

was the night to cash in on one
of the six eggs
of the six geese a laying back in december

noah couldn't be more excited
we met grandma and grandpa at the marriott
for a nice dinner and conversation
then walked in all too brisk
okay frozen air
finally
the warmth of energy solutions

defrosted my burning ears
there we were as a family
enjoying a jazz basketball game
they played and beat the cavaliers

the jazz bear
as always was entertaining
(handing off babies for the refs to hold in a time out
a huge plastic tree plant placed in someone's lap
helping a young man pull off a proposal)
smiles on everyone's faces


of course
noah would want a jazz jersey
after much begging
the request was granted
noah could not get that jersey on fast enough
he slept in it

on sunday morning
noah comes down dressed for church
i spy something green underneather his sweater
yep
he had put his church clothes over his
brand new jazz jersey and basketball shots
