Notable changes/events in 2013: Back surgery, Panthers/Patriots Monday Night Football game, Wrote my first novel a 200 page middle-grade fiction book called Unicorns vs. Zombies and I've sent it off to several agents, but haven't found anyone who's interested in publishing it. (But that's OK because I mainly wrote it for the kids and to say that I've written a book.)
Follow-up from last year's hopes:
Have my knee recover so I can start dunking again. My knee recovered from the ACL injury, but my back was too bad to let me dunk again.
Become almost fluent again in Spanish as I work with the Gate City
branch on the high council. Si.
That the Panthers make the playoffs. Yes, baby!
Hopes for 2014:
To fully recover from back surgery so I can start dunking again.
That I can join a competitive old man's basketball league.
That I can start writing another new book. (I'm kicking one around right now called The Nerd Vortex of Hunter Junior High that Saved the Universe)
That the Honda dies and I can finally buy midlife crisis sports car.
Favorite sport: Football to watch. Basketball to play.
Is really good at: starting fires with flint and steel
Wish you were better at: handyman stuff
Best part about your job: that they let me take six weeks off with full pay to recover from back surgery

I love that last picture of him! So handsome. 2014 is going to be a great year for Drew, I can feel it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun facts on our boppy gaco! (when he was a little boy he was bow-legged and had platinum blonde hair, and when he walked he kind of "bopped" and "Gaco" was his word for "tractor" and so somehow or other he became "Boppy Gaco!" I want to read his book, and the sequel! Angie said it's really good! I will have to figure out how to get my hands on it!! Love the photo of him with the crab. Mmmmmmmmmm, crab..................! We are so grateful that his back surgery went so well. I'm a believer! I was not a believer prior to the surgery, and now, when people say they're considering back surgery, I will say "My son is so glad he did it!" instead of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" XOXO
