In the spring of 1984, I was crushed not to make my Little League All-Star team. I will not go into too much detail, but imagine all your best friends were invited to a one-month party, and you weren't. You could watch it from afar but never get past the fence line. It was an early and abrupt welcome to adolescent loneliness.

This past year has been something else... it's opened my eyes to many things and many people. It's had its ups and downs and ins and outs.

We must beware of the Past, mustn't we?
