Oh man, this makes me want to start blogging some of my old journal entries but... I don't think the world's ready for that nonsense.

PS I was totally in that position once, goddamn penalty and stress.

I must learn how to get into these sports, pick some teams. I am interested but don't know where to start... I have no male influences.

Haha...that's pretty similar, actually. I went through that in highschool too...I was always a terrible penalty kick taker, and as a Frosh I proved that one too many times. Most teammates loved it; I was great on the field and just miserable when it was just me and the goalie.

You should know...you're an athlete too! And married to a professional! I wonder...do you two get into competitive modes over trivial stuff? Not in the bad way, but in the playful, challenge each other way.

Very true...the distance between victory and defeat matters. Losing something you almost won is far tougher than losing something you lost by long measure.

Intense, yes. Things seem unsurvivable sometimes, when they really aren't.
