The thing is: I only played left guard and center for one season. And once I became a quarterback, only was a starter for one more year on the B team. But my friend Ronnie Foster had this technique, when running with the ball, of lowering his head and bounces off the tackler, spinning away and moving on. I tried it in practice. It worked. But, since I spent most of my time on the bench, I retained my marbles. Mostly. Thirtieth anniversary is long gone. Don't tell Donna about the pearls.

So, I can't get past two things: You started as an offensive lineman and you can remember all of this. You may also note that a 30th wedding anniversary is marked by pearls so I hope that is what you gave Donna or hightail it to a jewelry store as soon as possible. I wore #22 as a DB/RB and it has absolutely no meaning to me.
