USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Grizz boys ⚽️worked hard today and earned W #1 for the Varsity program! Great team effort today by everyone! #GoGrizz #ClawsOut #History

[Stephen Hawke @schawke7]

@Don_K_Williams Parents that think you need to pay hundreds/thousands to compete don't. Parents that buy-in to our clubs vision & purpose and recognize solid coaching and competition is available outside typical financial constraints get to enjoy it!

The Ford Field experience is wild. One break they introduce Calvin Johnson. The next, Barry Sanders. They play an Eminem song and show Eminem in a suite. Deafening reactions. They play Circle of Life and everyone holds their babies over their heads. They have the cringiest post-TD song in the league, which is REALLY saying something. I'm sold. I don't see how anyone comes in and wins here.

Ending our first summer camp as a Standing Bear soccer program! Always fun to have a little water involved.

[Lincoln Standing Bear Boys Soccer @LSBboyssoccer]

It was great to see the energy and excitement of our campers today! A great start to building Standing Bear culture.
