It was Spurs vs. Warriors on Wednesday night.
Cue the Gen X rant: “Steph Curry isn’t even playing. Let’s watch ‘Age of Attraction,’ ” my youngest daughter pleaded.
It’s different for me. I have the same feeling I had watching the Spurs all those years ago. It’s in the air. Everyone feels it.
My 24-year-old son gets it. He’s old enough to remember.
It’s part of who we are and what we love about San Antonio. I also know the feeling can be fleeting, so I’m soaking it all in. We’re cheering for someone, something again.

I agree with Shaimaa Zayan that education should encourage critical thinking and curiosity.
It seems, though, that our politicians are trying to mold the system into one where students only hear the side of social issues of those in power.
In public education, there has always been a tension between forming compliant citizens and forming competent thinkers.
The latter will be better able to make sense of questions without simple answers, while the former are easily manipulated and led by fearmongering and disinformation, easy prey for would-be demagogues.
More than 9,500 civilians provide essential services in business and technical fields for the Coast Guard.
For those unfamiliar with the Coast Guard’s missions, I would like them to remember those Hurricane Katrina rooftop rescues or the more recent Camp Mystic rescue missions from last year.
