It's 10:17pm on a Wednesday night during girls sectionals week. Tonight we broadcasted a doubleheader on Facebook Live from Lowell. In the opener, Lake Central beat East Chicago Central. So far tonight 2500 people have watched our video of the game. That'll grow overnight.
Ryan Walsh and Dan Repay announced LC vs. EC. In the nightcap, it was Lowell and Gary West Side. Miguel Flores on the call. On the radio side, we did the Lake Central win live, then headed over to catch some of IU's triple overtime win... then did a little of the West Side- Lowell game, and then finished up with Purdue's big win over 25th-ranked Northwestern. |

Right now, however, there's no veggie burritos or gyros or chicken kabobs with rice or gelato or quiche. There's just protesters everywhere and cops with guns on balconies. I half expect to wake up and read about some heavy violence. Sure as hell hope not.
I'll have to cut our time short right now. Alexis is coming to bed with me now. We went to see a movie - Moonlight - about a guy who grows up on the mean streets of Miami and fights with himself and others about being gay. Some violence. Some guys kissing. Some drugs and lots of sadness. Not as good as "Lion" but almost. We're trying to see as many movies as possible before the Academy Awards.
Good night for now. I gotta wake up in less than five hours to do a radio show. They've been pretty good this week. You guys make it that way. Dozens of heartfelt phone calls. The only thing I can say that we share right now is confusion and hate. We all have a little hate these days. If you deny it, I don't believe you.
