After the shameless commerce of yesterday’s post, I’m paying you back with levity. Note the picture…the man in the dress is my son, who brashly bragged that his under-12 girls softball team could flawlessly execute a suicide squeeze. Hearing the taunts from his fellow coaches, he compounded his mistake by agreeing, somehow, that if they did it, he would wear a dress to the next game.
“The Gators,” as they are called, pulled it off in the third inning of last Saturday’s game in Sonoma, California. The press immediately sent a contingent (not much going on in Sonoma) and took enough pictures to keep my son from running for office in this lifetime. I publish one here because our little company, Leadership Communication, sponsors the team….or did.
I’m sure they are considering a name change and some other significant adjustments in their approach. My son, in the meantime, is going to be on the cover of a magazine touting tutus, “for the man confident enough to be a woman.” He was born only 15 years too late to be Ms. Doubtfire. Perhaps in the sequel.
