Just back from a weekend swim meet.
Have you ever been to one? Chlorine and humidity are a bear to deal with, but other than that, they look like every other sporting event at which you’ve ever screamed your lungs out.
Among other things, that means we opened our meet (all three days) with the national anthem… and oddly, I noticed that probably half of the people around me were standing in respectful silence with their hands clasped in front of them.
*gasp*
Hands NOT on hearts!!! In Texas, no less! What’s the world coming to?
