Quarterback

Hi Sidra,

You might think a better title for this post would be Millions of Cats.  But it’s Quarterback and I’ll tell you why.

Last night you were the star of a local production of a children’s play called Millions of Cats (link to video on You Tube, about 8 minutes).  You were the narrator, which means that you had 95% of the spoken part of the play.  More so, you gave direction and cues to the other actors as the play unfolded.  They responded to your verbal cues and hand signals.  You were in complete control of yourself and the cast. 

It reminded me of how I felt (on a few good days) playing Quarterback when I was growing up.  In those days as the Quarterback you got to call the plays, the other players made moves off your cues, you were in charge.  It was a great feeling. 

As your uncle Ben says I was ‘blown away’ by your confident performance.  You didn’t stumble over anything and were in complete command of the performance from start to finish.  You showed not one hint of nervousness.  You did this after a long morning of doing the kiddie run and 5k run at Noah’s Quest.  What a day for you.  I’m beyond proud.

Love, Aba
