The challenge of a fledgling is catching up with the shadows of his predecessors and shining light for his successors. – Vincent Okay Nwachukwu
Thought we should celebrate. Thanksgiving, a good time to put a collection together.
Giving thanks to those who supplied us with some brilliant moments in the distant past. Not just the athletes. Somebody has to put on the race. Somebody has to take your triumphant photo and somebody has to write up that amazing adventure that is putting one foot in front of the other as best as one can. Can almost hear my first wife now: “And somebody has to park the car and keep the beer cold without drinking it.” Thank you to all.
And the first is already on page two. They were that fast.
