My Piece of the Net

We all have events in our lives that can be called back again by connecting with concrete objects from the past. This small piece of basketball net is my connection to 1977. It is part of the net from my college basketball team when they became part of the NCAA Final Four. I can still feel the excitement of the day, the fun of traveling to the game and the spirit of being part of a larger college community experience. But it's also about remembering what it was like to be young, making friends that have been with me now for so many years.

So go ahead -- reconnect with your own piece of the net whatever it may be. I'll just settle down and watch the NCAA tournament. With a smile on my face.
