I just love him! — to begin thinking about next season. _ that my first experience with athletics came at age six when my friends and I would iorce other neighborhood kids to eat grasshoppers. — Yep, that’s right. If they had a gold medal in the Olympics for grasshopper feeding (and I’m sure they will someday). then we would have won it. Where I grew up, grasshoppers would invade our yards by the thousands. As kids, we would find creative ways to dispose of them. We hated those — ugly monsters. 7 However, their was ioetune more fun: than axing’ a Sito Hes ibae hood kid to eat them and then ask them how they tasted, usually like - chicken. We watched plenty of those nasty little insects get devoured in our time, and, by the time we retired at age eight we were in the grasshopper feeding hall of fame. Do I ever miss those days?
