Recently I had a moment of clarity. I’m getting older… How did this happen? Why didn’t someone warn me? This past week we had opportunity for several nights of pick-up basketball.

It was a great trip and it will be a memory for our family for our lifetime.
On the way back to Oklahoma, we decided to take a more northerly route and passed through an area of the country our kids had never been through. As we traveled through Indiana, I noticed a sign on the interstate for the town of Santa Claus, Indiana. I had watched a show on the Discovery Channel about the birth of the modern theme parks in America and I knew that Holiday World, one of the original theme parks, was located in Santa Claus, Indiana.
I couldn’t help myself, so I turned off the interestate…
