That fierce defender? That’s me, circa seventh grade, and for those of you scoring at home, that’s a reach-in foul.
In addition to being an enthusiast of man-to-man defense, I am a writer and a proud native of Youngstown, Ohio.
These days, Minneapolis Berea, OH, is home.
My heart dropped for half a second as I thought that was moi in the pic!
You have always been a “thinking sports enthusiast” … How else do you explain reciting all of the Presidents in chronological (or was it alphabetical) order, while at the free throw line, during practice? Who does that? Only you, my friend. Only you.
Ha! Definitely chronological. (Go ahead and air my nerdy laundry.)
Thanks for finding this blog, Mingo, and for all those rides to team camp in the red Jetta.
Fierce. Love.
You are amazing!
Some girls had glitter on their locker booster signs. Some – errrh, well, actually, maybe only one, had proverbs and/or quotes from the Economist.* You’ve amazed me since 1997, girl!
