To the editor:   On Nov. 14, our family attended the Harlem Wizards basketball game. It was hosted by South Oldham Middle School and advertised as a family event.

The Top of the World

With a giant ear to ear smile across my face I go higher

The higher I go the more I need to get to the top

Looking down I can see my dad looking up at me standing on the grass

I don’t know if I can make it the branches keep getting smaller,
