Jason, You're My Hero
Turns out I'm a hero!
My little buddy TJ had to write a paper about his hero. He didn't want to do a ho-hum paper about somebody he didn't know like Superman, Michael Jordan, or MC Hammer. So, he decided to pick somebody he already knew to be his hero. Now, the classic/romantic pick is to have your grandpa or a parent be your hero. Once in a great while you will hear about a high school teacher/coach who had a huge impact on shaping a troubled youths future. I can only imagine in what terrible ways I have influenced TJ, but for whatever the reason he has chosen me as his hero and the topic of a college essay. Thanks TJ! I feel like that is quite a compliment.
As an aside, we played volleyball up at Baldwin Wallace last night with a bunch of people that are roughly in the 20 Somethings group (or at least age group). The last person to show was Curt Staver. About 2-3 games later we were ready to call it a night. Who was the dirtiest? I mean beyond compare, at least 10 times more dirty than anybody else? Curt Staver. That guy loves to play in the dirt. I had to drive his new truck back to his house with him in the back so he didn't leak mud all over the interior. ¶ 7:37 AM
