I'm Mike. I have been posting on rare occasions for a few years. I was recruited by Stanford as a water polo player, never attended for a variety of odd reasons. I did, however, end up forming an attachment to SU that never went away. I teach 12th grade AP English (my grammar errors are usually intentional, but I try to avoid them here--all of the other mistakes are just carelessness, I do know better) at a large high school, where I also coach varsity basketball and golf. I have only missed one home football game since 1980 (I had a brain aneurysm, my car had been taken away and nobody would drive me because they were afraid of being responsible for my demise). These are the finest days of all those years--I hope the current ride lasts for a good, long time.
