Look what I found! Molly has left a new comment on your post "Memories from Christmas Past...":

to be honest, I have not checked out this site since it first got started and I am VERY impressed. I have no clue whether this post works or not but i'm experimenting. ford has his last basketball game tomorrow. they have lost EVERY game the entire season so please keep your fingers crossed that they win at least one! ford got asked to be on an ALTA tennis team so that is pretty cool. Morgan is busy doing her rockclimbing -- that is quickly becoming her new sport. I even have a harness so I can belay her. she has been asked by the Coach to join the climbing team when she gets a little older. the rock climbing wall is just 5 blocks away so an easy walk. but the biggest news of all is that last night Shannon got asked to be an official assistant coach for Ford's new baseball team. He has always been an unofficial assistant to the assistant but this is a huge deal. the head coach is a really nice guy who lives very close to us. the cutest thing is how excited ford is about it which is very sweet. shannon is already studying all the rules so he is ready to be the one to argue with the officials (sorry Grandad, but you will have to not say anything rude since now you will have an official role as the "Father of the Assistant Coach." I am feeling pretty powerful as the "Wife of the Assistant Coach" (I already got business cards made). All the other parents are going to be trying to schmooze me thinking I can help their kid get moved up in the order. Maybe I could even have a reserved seat in the bleachers. Maybe I won't even have to bring snacks! yeah, right. I told Ford I would fill in for Shannon when he could not be there which scared him a lot. thanks to those of you who checked out the updated Croft web site.

Wow! My son the doctor is an assistant coach! Do they know he's not an orthopod? Actually, I have watched Shannon counseling and consoling those kids when they were stressed, upset and frustrated, and it made me think every team should have its own psychiatrist as an assistant coach. Now, Ford's team does. Wow. Grandad.
