While he was trying to explain the sport to me, I mentioned that Eli 20.0 was a speed climber at U of M his freshman year and was likely going to nationals if it hadn't been for COVID.
"Why didn't you tell me that?" he asked.
"That's just what happens with him," I said. "You get used to it."
Last night, he texted me this:
Oh, Equestrian was excellent. Did Eli also compete at a national level in Equestrian?
I texted this back:
He carried the horse.
