Bordeaux...we're from San Francisco and read the news about this young woman with a keen sense of "it could be anybody's child"..yet we're putting our athletic kids into highly charged and high pressured situations that others cannot comprehend. I worry about my son all the time (and he's just finishing high school) and wonder if he's just putting on a good front..or if he's really okay about the pressure. I know I read alot into situations...but I'm an emergency room nurse and I see a lot of bad,frightening stuff every day.
