On Winning The Lottery

Being a NETSational Senior feels a lot like winning the lottery. I imagine that to be the case, because I've never actually won a lottery. Like most people, I fantasize about what such moments would be like, but who ever really expects to win the jackpot? Well ... here's my story....

As a child, I dreamed of dancing on a stage to the the thunderous applause of a large and adoring audience -- why not dream big? .... Even though I was only a child, I knew in my heart that such imaginings were nothing short of sheer fantasy! Never, never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect it to come true.

But at age 60, I was invited to join the new NJ Nets Senior Dance Team. And that was the day I won the lottery! Since then, three basketball seasons have come and gone -- and I'm still dancing -- in a huge arena before thousands of cheering fans -- and still in a state of total disbelief!

Thanks to destiny's merry pranks, my childhood dream has come true! And I am determined to live out my dream, no matter where it may take me!
