A butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazon, and gas prices rise forty cents in the U.S.

Wow

I just finished reading a remarkable book, The Last Shot, by Darcy Frey. For me it was deja vu all over again, as it brought me back to my days as a high school basketball player. The pressure of playing against the top players in the country, of performing in front of top Division I coaches, knowing that if you fail at basketball you will end up in a life of drugs, living in horrible projects at a poverty level, praying that you will be able to score a 700 on your SAT - all of these things were the hallmark of my high school days.

I give it an 84 for its ability to mirror my life.
