Letting the ever-changing sound of the station channels changing and Ruby's chatter wash around him, John fell into a pleasant place for the drive to the campus. They were small things, banter about music or discussion of intended plans, but they shaped not only John's day, but his life. Who he was. Who he wanted to be. They all fit together... and he was pretty pleased with they way it all did.
The drive was made in record time, he dropped his daughter off with a kiss to the cheek in farewell and then headed for the campus gymnasium and offices. Today was going to be a good day, he could feel it in his bones.
