Looking back at my high school years, I'm struck by how slowly history can move.
I was so intent as a young lawyer on beating the men at their own game that I didn't take any real maternity leave with my three younger children. It is only looking back that I realise I wasn't beating the system but reinforcing it.
Looking back, my life seems like one long obstacle race, with me as the chief obstacle.
I've slowly gone back, later on in life, to fish and then chicken and then, last year, red meat.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
Looking back, I wince at the careless way I tossed out my opinions.
In looking back, I see nothing to regret and little to correct.
Looking back on those games, I probably hustled out of position as much as I hustled into position since I really never had any real training. I was working on instincts alone.
Now I literally roll out of bed and put on whatever is there. I have really enjoyed being a boy this last year.
