Who would have thought?

One adjective that has undoubtedly never applied to Barry and me is “athletic.” We may have done well in school, but only above the neck. Thinking about it now, I realize that both of our fathers had some athletic ability. Barry’s dad (whose name was Joshua, may he rest in peace), played basketball back in his high school days, and my father (may he rest in peace) used to join his children for Sunday morning swimming in the summers and ice skating in the winters. As far as I know, our son-in-law Aaron’s family is similarly unathletic.

But somewhere in that strange mix of genes we have Joshua, over 6 feet tall, who both loves sports and is talented. And now, Joshua has been selected as the only freshman player on the Maimonides High School (Brookline, MA) varsity basketball team, the M-Cats.

Here is the schedule so far. We will try to catch as many games as we can. At the risk of embarrassing our sincerely modest grandson, I have to say that we are just so proud.
 

Go Joshua!
