Read MoreYesterday when I went out to shoot some hoops with my six-year old, I noticed that our basketball hoop had been raised to the full ten feet. “Hey big guy,” I said. “Want me to lower it? That’s the height the pros use.” He looked at me, then the hoop, then threw the basketball in: […]
Read MoreThe kids and their mom went down to visit some friends at Disney yesterday. The friends were staying at a Disney hotel with what sounds like a fantastic pool.
