Brat Boy was watching the NBA at my house when I got home
from the meeting. I showed him an old recruiting letter I’d found while sorting
through the attic.
“You ever regret not going there?” I asked.
Brat Boy shook his head. “On a warm spring day they might
only get a foot of snow. I wasn’t really tempted.”
While we watched Steph Curry rain three pointers on the
Trail Blazers, I thought of all the things that didn’t tempt me.
I was never tempted to eat another 10,000 calorie slice of
lasagna because I hated lasagna.
I was never tempted to take a loan out to buy coffee in a
place where an ‘e’ was pronounced like ‘a’.
No $15 latte grande from the cafe for me (pronounced ‘may’).
Most importantly, I wasn’t tempted anymore to have one more
drink, get in my car, and ruin someone’s life, most likely my own.
Today I’ll be grateful for ways I’m not tempted.
