Motivation

I remember sitting in the kitchen once with my father, watching television, and watching a figure skater spinning on the ice. It might have been ABC Wide World of Sports (in the mid-seventies). My dad turned to me with a confident smile, gestured towards the skater, and said, "I can do that!" I'm afraid my skepticism shone through: "YOU can do THAT?" "Yes," my dad said "if you try hard enough, you can do anything!" "R-I-G-H-T," I replied.

In February, 1993, I vowed that I'd be doing the splits by September, 1993. Still working on it! Maybe I should have tried figure skating???
