"I read the news today, oh boy, about a lucky man who made the grade"
I do feel I'm lucky...despite this bump on the side of my head. I rec'd it while going after a loose ball in my pick-up basketball game during lunch. About two months ago, we started playing as a group of 6 people. Small 3 on 3 games but we did run the length of the mini court. The court is basically three point lines on both sides with about 10 feet seperating the two. It was a good workout but not quite the same as a full court game.
Since then, we have expanded to daily 5 on 5 games going full court on the college size courts at the Princeton Club. I have met some good players and have made new friendships. I feel lucky to have this opportunity to play as it keeps me in shape without taking time away from my personal life. The guys are great guys, reminding me of my teammates in high school.
I thank God everyday for the opportunities he's given me in life. I am very thankful for the athletic ability as well because it has given me so many experiences that most people have not had. Winning state championships, playing golf with NFL legends, and meeting solid, fun people along the way are just a few of the things sports has provided me.
Most importantly, having not had a love for sports and staying in shape, I am not sure how my fiance and I would have met. For people who don't believe in an all-mighty power, I feel bad for you. I firmly believe God had this plan in place when he gave my grandpas athletic ability, who in turn provided it to my parents and now in me.

funny, scott. the most current post on my buddy's blog in NY opens with a reference to "Strawberry Fields" by The Beatles and makes reference to the urban legend, "Paul is Dead" phenomenon and the line, "I buried Paul".
like minds, my friend. like minds.
