No kidding, I have had the luxury of four kids playing competitive sports, I got the oppurtunity to learn some perspective with the older ones (fortunately all still playing baseball). I played baseball for a long time, I was guilty of taking it way to serious.
Anyways, glad you liked the article.
Ps- I got a new skateboard, I would love to come over and try your ramps! Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.
