This is my second chance to be with kids,

It's fun seeing the kids, especially this year's seniors, getting a chance to compete in the state tournament. The state tournament is quite an experience.

I see kids and pets as similars. With both of them, you give without expecting something monetary in return or having to deal with the 'what can you do for me' attitude, ... They just want someone to care and love them. That is all.

Every so often, you need new blood and I think this is our best chance to do that. So I choose to be optimistic until I have a problem that?s real.

I enjoy the chance to do something with my kids.

It feels really good. I'm proud of the kids. We've had a great year already, and this is a chance to add to it.
