Our family drove across the border into Ft. Wayne, Indiana, last night for our kids’ homeschooling basketball games.\u00a0 It was at a recreation center that featured everything: “Indiana basketball.”\u00a0 There were pictures of Larry Byrd, Bobby Knight throwing that famous chair onto the court… (Actually, there’s been a few times when I’ve felt that way during the campaign.)\u00a0 Cutest moment:\u00a0 Our Jonathan, who is eight-years-old in a league that’s for 10-to-12-year-olds, is usually the shortest kid on the court.\u00a0 His number is: “O.”\u00a0 This night he was matched up with an opponent who was actually as short as Jonathan\u00a0 His number was also: “O.”\u00a0 As they lined up for the opening tip-off, you could just kind of hear all the parents going: “Awww…”\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Just before going to the Rec Center, we stopped at JoJo’s Travel Center<\/strong> in Ft.
