April 2022

Writing this as I just watched Coach K’s hopes for a fairytale career-end come to a grinding halt. I care because a) sports fairytales are worth cheering for (but not betting on) and b) I have a junior at Duke. One other daughter is in college at Wake Forest and my twins are juniors in high school. Both are still playing lacrosse, which warms my Baltimore soul. The greatest girl player in the country last year was a graduate of our kids’ school here in Dallas, so you can say the game has taken hold really well down here. Hope there is a big turnout for the 40-year reunion next year! I had a great catch-up with David Nelson a month ago. We hadn’t spoken in a few decades so that was pretty cool! David has three kids, slightly younger than mine, lives in Denver, and still rides a skateboard! Admirable at age 57. Looking forward to seeing a few more classmates at our 45th Calvert reunion in May.
