Just curious, is anyone else out there glued to their computer each night listening to online broadcasts of summer collegiate league games (or minor league games) for their sons that are playing in another part of the US?
I think I need a night off.

There is nothing better than seeing a Grand Pa who is proud of his Grand Son. Jamie is a very lucky young man to have such a great fan. Good luck to him the rest of the summer.

Sure, it's OK to brag. I like the word share rather than brag. Share implies give and take whereas bragging seems like it is all take imho. I have some off the cuff remarks here and fully aware that many disagree with my point of view. I have no problem with people criticizing my take btw...
I wouldn't do it however Why?
In my humble opinion, it has the potential to generate bad karma. Many people do not like to root for the braggar's kid, for example. They say things internally to themselves like "He'll get his someday" Why would you want that type of negative energy in the air?
More specifically, is it really something to brag about when you are the biggest fish in the smallest pond? The best ice skater in Cuba, the best bob sledder in Jamica, or the best high jumper in Haiti?
Something to consider is that bragging here is mostly out of context with the audience imho. I love to hear the stories and that is why the thread was started but how about something like this...
"Hey guys and gals - just wanted to share. My son just got back from a showcase event and he really performed well. Had several college coaches talk to him and we are so thankful he was able to get their attention!" Obviously, a million ways to share things.
The best way to brag is to let people notice on their own. People will notice if they like you. Hard to get them to like you if you are rubbing it in their faces how gifted your child is. There are lots of talented kids here and I am sure your kids are among them. Something to consider.
