Ramblings of an EdMan

I was so, so happy I didn’t get the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets game spoiled today.

I only watched most of the first half last night after watching Westworld and being tired after an absolutely wonderful Rites of Spring.

It looked bad for Golden State after a bad first half. But with 27 straight three pointers missed by Houston and a great third quarter by Golden State, the Warriors advanced to a fourth straight NBA Finals vs the Cleveland Cavaliers again.

The odds look very good for Golden State to beat the Cleveland LeBrons again. If the Warriors recovered from Draymond Green missing game 6 two years ago, they could be going for four straight.

And it’s really fun to see the Warriors when they are playing great.

Onto the NBA Finals, let’s see if I can miss spoilers on these games. Google knows I like the Warriors so I have to be careful.

It was absolutely great to spend time with kindred and reconnect at Rites of Spring.

It is also so nice to be home with my own shower and soon my own bed. And the delightful Lenny and Squiggy.

Until we all meet again.

It’s so important to honor each other in good times and in bad. Community is sometimes easier to see when it’s intentional like Rites of Spring. It should be easier in society too, especially if we learned to love not fear each other. We have so much that we can give others.

When your body says nap just listen and you will be far happier. Woo!

Also when the fire circle sings surrender and you realize it’s time for bed that’s okay.
