Or: "How I Learned To
Stop Worrying And Love The 'Bob And Weave'!!" I thought I'd share a little holiday story with all of you.....about a moment that *made* my Christmas weekend. My parents live about 30 miles south of San Francisco, in the same house where we as a family all moved from Los Angeles about 23 years ago. My parents have always admired my dedication to the Rams. They've watched me stick with the team for my entire life - through thick and thin - even long after they *themselves* finally lost interest and jumped ship after we had moved up north. They know how incredibly excited I am about this season, and how long I've suffered and waited for the Rams to return to respectability. So on Christmas Eve, shortly after I had arrived at their house to visit for the holiday, we were all standing in the kitchen talking, when they looked at each other and then back at me and said, "Bradley, We've got something for you..." My Dad turned back to my Mom and said, "Ready to do our routine for him?" It was then - in the middle of the family kitchen floor on Christmas Eve - that I watched my mother and father crouch down and do the 'BOB AND WEAVE' - facing each other, swaying side-to-side, arms flailing!!! Now imagine if you will - a couple in their late '60s doing the Rams' endzone celebration dance in their own kitchen while their son watches and laughs hysterically...!! It was the single greatest moment of my Christmas weekend! And it meant a lot to me as well - it was an acknowledgement of how happy they are for me that I hung in there with this team through a lot of tough times. And you know the really scary part? They did a *damn good* job of it, too!!! *Really*! ;) san fRAM |
