Suffice it to say, I survived the XBox 360 “issue” - I actually did quite a bit better than I expected; she was very supportive of the deal! (which shows you how much I know about women).

Here’s a belated Christmas gift: a Youtube video showcasing Curtis Pride. I remember the buzz surrounding Curtis back in 1993 (check out the crowds BTW) - he was the “feel good” story of the team in their inaugural season. To his great credit, people soon forgot about his deafness; the man could play ball. I remember not being able to remember if it was Cliff Floyd or Curtis Pride who was deaf - they were both just so good, and the hearing impairment became a footnote.

Curtis Pride runs a foundation, Together With Pride “who’s mission is to support and create programs for hearing impaired children that focus on the importance of education and the learning of life skills along with promoting a positive self esteem. “
