It was 1995, and I was a dork. Now it is not 1995, and I am still a dork. (There was no college football championship at the time, and Iowa State certainly wasn’t doing anything bowl-worthy, so I took my best shot.)
I have a couple different fears now, but that’s not to say the old ones are gone.
Sometimes I think about how to reconcile who I think I am now with the person I thought I was. It can be very difficult.
