I slipped into his room late one evening as I arrived home from work so that I could give him a goodnight snuggle and a kiss, only to find him wide awake. "Hey Dad, it's Wednesday!" my 12-year-old said. "Tonight was our date night, Dad! You forgot!"

The Rock
I based my whole life on a t-shirt which read: "Basketball is life and the rest is details."
I had finally reached the pinnacle of my basketball career. All the sacrifices, hard work, and persistence had finally paid off. I was going to the 1996 Olympic Games. We were representing Canada, competing against the world's best, chasing after a gold...... >Read More
