My kids are 32 and 27 now. The oldest, the softball player is a prosecutor of violent crimes. She’s been married seven years. She plays softball for the courthouse team in the county legal softball league. It amuses her to see lawyers compete as intensely as college athletes without the same ability or being in the same shape.
The youngest used five to play four to get his MBA. He works for one of the Big Four consulting firms. His girlfriend of a year recently moved in. A couple of weeks ago he told me unless he’s at a game or with me he rarely thinks about baseball anymore. He’s into a regular pickup basketball game and golf. Observing my son is like watching a movie of my life right down to at twenty-seven he realized it was time to calm down.
