Taking Back Saturday

Today's the last day of my Saturday volunteer coaching gig until October rolls around. For twenty weeks out of the year, I either leave the house before 8AM and head down to Manhattan to teach, then head straight to work, or I head down to Manhattan straight from work... either way, I don't spend a lot of time at home on Saturdays from October to March. As much as I love it when October rolls around and the program begins, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't equally happy when March rolls around and we have our closing exercises. Today, I will leave work in about half an hour, rush home to shower and put on some decent clothing, then head down on the subway to coach two classes and then attend the post-program luncheon and awards ceremony. Next week, I will have time to hit the brewery on Saturday, or to hit the bar after working the midnight shift (last call is 4AM) and sleep late, or to generally goof off. It's my time once again...

In seven months, it'll be back to Saturday spent away from home. The kids will all be about three inches taller than they are when I part company with them today. I'll be happy to see them, and happy to put in another twenty weeks, but I will have relished the thirty-two weeks of free Saturday mornings.
