Sorry for that. I'll do something more cheery next. Glad it made you think though. And thanks for the comments! Hi Karen,

It's really a gift to bring one's children up with some kind of roots in some kind of practice - the sporting life or otherwise - that they can hold and nurture and lean on throughout life. I think about this a lot when it comes to different activities and to my own kids. Anyway, your words made me think and the sketch is just perfect. I never would have guessed this is just from your imagination. It seems very real. A melancholy post, Don, though a profound one.
