Pre-Father's Day reading

I compose this entry teary-eyed and I recommend that all men, whether you still have their fathers around or if they've passed on, or if you, too, are fortunate enough to have son/s, to read the following article, Holy Ground, by Wright Thompson, senior writer for ESPN's website and magazine. I guarantee this poignant vignette will make you, too, teary-eyed and warm inside, as he recounts fond moments, lessons learned, and missed opportunities with his late father.

I thank my younger son, Steve, sports fan extraordinaire, who sent me the link to this article, along with his love (actually, probably the only time he ever signed an email with "Love, Steve.")

Love you, too, son!!!
