Yes thanks, my oldest played with the Houston Dynamo Academy, he was scouted but not offered by Duke, got offered at NYU, but decided to hang up his cleats to attend Northwestern (engineering). Lots of years of soccer fields, travel, soccer camps (the two summers he attended the IU camp as a kid he won the camp mvp award). Lots of good times!

You haven't done bad. 🍻 Oh, as far as needing to cheer for Duke....no. Half of my household income comes from the University of Kentucky and it'll be a cold day in hell before I cheer for the athletic department of that particular crease of Satan's butthole. My wife asked me what I'd do if one of our kids hypothetically wound up playing for UK. My answer was "You'd see a lot of plain, solid blue shirts in my wardrobe."

My UK basketball hatred runs so deep that, that if my kid wanted to do something like run track or play golf for UK, I would still disown them. It's just not something I could handle. Purdue? I wouldn't like it, but would deal with it. With UK, there simply is not a middle ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not lie, I am a very difficult dude, but my wife has put up with it and endured and we are better for it. Congratulations on the Anniversary. I'm at 12 yrs. Hope to make to 40+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 2020 has been a good year for me. 2019 was better and busier personally, 2020 better professionally. Entire family is healthy and Covid has been a non factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Covid cancelling what you had planned, it just means you have to do something extra, extra special on #50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted December 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Today is our 12 year anniversary. We were looking at our wedding album and showing our little guy. I look 12, my dad looks like he's 27. Wow, time flys. 2021 needs to be a year of finding another gear in my physical health department. Need to get my 30 year old body and conditioning back. My wife is still hot, so that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
