Tales from childhood: Physical education in my life.

Hello, dear readers! This is Mr. H. How are you?

Today I want to tell you about my passion. Everyone in my family loves sports! I played on a sports team when I was a child. I enjoyed it, and now my family enjoys it, too.

My son and I are actively involved in sports. I give him various exercises to do, and he carries them out. This started back when my son was little; that was when I became his coach. I'm strict, but fair.

At first, we used to go running together every morning. Later, my son started doing fitness workouts in the park.

By the time he was in middle school, my athlete was already competing in various events. He's my champion! But for us, it's the participation that matters most.

"It's to your credit that our son exercises every day," my wife said once.

Seven against Thebes.

The Seven against Thebes (Ἑπτὰ ἐπὶ Θήβας) (Hepta epi Thēbas) were seven characters in Greek mythology. They were at war in Thebes.

Eteocles (Ἐτεοκλῆς) (Eteoklês) and Polynices (Πολυνείκης) (Polyneíkes) were sons of Oedipus. The conflict started with them.

Polynices, Tydeus (Τυδεύς) (Tūdeus), Amphiaraus, Capaneus, Parthenopaeus, Hippomedon, and Eteoclus were the seven against Thebes.

They wanted to overthrow Eteocles and restore his brother Polynices to the throne. Almost all of them perished.

In the legends, Polynices took the necklace of Harmonia.

Also, there is a tragedy (play) of the same name written by Aeschylus.

Words.

Words vary greatly. They can sound different and have many meanings. There are good words and bad words. That is why it's important to use phrases appropriately and choose one's words carefully.

Sometimes, words can deeply wound a person. Also, it's need to speak in a quiet and calm tone.

One can discern rudeness and politeness from a person's words.

Heliades.

Heliades (Ἡλιάδες), or Phaethontides (Φαεθοντίδες) were the daughters of Helios and Clymene.

In Greek myths and legends there were seven Heliades: Merope, Aegle, Lampetia, Phoebe, Aetherie, and Dioxippe. Also, they had a brother named Phaёthon (Φαέθων) (Phaéthōn).

He died when Phaёthon drove his father Helios's chariot across the sky.

The Heliades mourned their brother Phaёthon. Later, they turned into poplar trees, and their tears amber.

Tales from childhood: Kevin.

Hi, people! Timothy is speaking to you now. I want to tell you about a friend of my ex-wife's family. This man has known my child's mother since early childhood. His name is Kevin.

"I met Kevin long before I met you," my ex-wife often said.

Also, I remember him inviting my ex-wife and our daughter over. They visited him after our divorce-which happened because of my appearance.

I think my family is with him now. It's for the best.
