Jul 2014

and I learned some things. When I was a jr high kid, my sister's boyfriend called me "Pistol Pete" because I played basketball. One time... I'm so mathspastic, I misread the shot clock and, thinking we only had seconds left in the quarter, took a shot from the half-court line... and it went in. amazingly. but we still had a minute of play left.

Sports are fun for those magic times when it all seems to click - but misery for those times when nothing seems to fall your way, at least for a kid.
