The First Sport I Was Ever Good At

Fred Morrison, the inventor of the Frisbee died at the age of 90.  Throwing and catching that plastic little disk was one of the first things that I was really good at as a teenager.  A real self-esteem booster.  People used to say, "she's really good, for a girl."  Playing Frisbee provided endless hours, during nice weather, bonding with friends and family.  In the winter months, I became proficient at playing pool.  People used to say, "she's really good, for a girl."  I know, I know.  A wasted youth.  Now, I run; and people say, "she's really good, for being so old."  RIP Fred, you changed the world with a playful little toy!
