Good Genes

Were you a sophomore or junior when you made the Vista High School soccer team?  For Dad, that was probably your crowning achievement.   He was beyond proud.   In his tiny High School, he had made the B-Ball team, and he knew what it felt like to be a big fish in a very little pond.  And he loved it.  But he was acutely aware of how hard it is to make any team when you're in a school of 4,000+, so he over and over would point that out to me.   I think he was in awe, a bit dazzled, really proud. I know we respected your talents as well as your dedication to the team.  

Me?  I never made any team in my life, never even tried.  So you can pretty well figure out what DNA helped you there!
