The Blogenberg nation must go see Blind Side. Maybe it’s because we’re an interracial family, maybe it’s because I’ve got a son who might end up being recruited for a college sport, or maybe it’s just that Sandra Bullock looks really good, but this movie is great. If I wasn’t such a man’s man I would have had tears in my eyes, which, of course, I did not — for the record, it was allergies.

Last week, Blogenberg posted about asking the head of an all-star lacrosse program to consider my son for a roster spot at a big college-recruiting tournament. He did, but he made it clear that my son better play well and represent the program very well. My son felt the pressure but he played so well, he literally put on a show.

I can be a real pain in the butt to my kids — I know that. But when one of them steps up and faces pressure head on, which all three of my kids continue to do, it’s the proudest I get.
