The Letter "B"

Because we have the letter "B" as the beginning of our surname, Dan is now the basketball coach of Alex's team. We wondered why no one had called us to tell us they were his coach. A few hours after this discussion the Rec center called and said, "All the teams have a coach except yours. Do you know anyone that would want to be coach?" Which was a somewhat nice way of saying, "Please coach your son's team!" Let us add to the confusion... this un-coached last team is also the black team. No, no, not the (Dan) Black team, the Black (color) team. Well, who thought of calling the parent of the only kid on the team whose name would cause unneeded confusion. We are used to confusion though. My somewhat senile great Aunt thought that Alex was black (skin color) because of his birth announcement. Don't worry there will be pictures (well, if Dan is coach there won't be as many). We'll keep you posted.

A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.
