There is not much I find pleasure in lately. One thing I use to find a lot of joy is was taking photos of my nephew when he wrestles. I have not been able to do so, so I have not attended any of his matches this season because it makes me more depressed. On the good side of things. He is a freshman this year and he has turrets and we are tight. Right now I am so proud of him and want to share that. As a freshman he won the district title and went on to the regionals. The top 4 kids in each weight class go on to states. So he wrestled Friday night and again yesterday. Well he placed 4th in the region an is now on to states. He is the first kid in his high schools history to go on to states. Before this part of the post season the last post he was ranked 20th in the state which I am sure will change since he is only 1 of 16 to make it to the state tournament. On their forum for the state wrestling most people were not choosing him in their predictions to make it to states. He is a very quist kid. There have been some nice articles written in the papers about him. I don't think anyone he wrestles with even knows he has turrets b\c his ticks are not typical ones. So anyway one of the nice articles thr headlines read "Quiet McQuiston Makes big noise at Dallastown" He won gold at their tournament. So this Thursday March 5th he will be heading to Hershey PA for the state championships. Oh yea just looked and I think he is now ranked 13th in the state as a freshman. Can you tell I am a proud aunt? I will have to post how he doed in states if anyone is interest.....this is the only thing making me truely smile right now!
