With that my dreams of playing first base came crashing down but my desire to sit and talk about baseball and other things

As a parent I never know exactly how my kids might react in certain situations. As my kids have gotten older their reactions have become a lot more predictable, tainted with sarcasm, embarrassment and the rolling of eyes. There was a time when my son was a lot like this little fellow, concerned with the unlikely and improbable only to see his worst fears come true.

At first glance you'd probably think the answer to the question, "Does your birth month determine your career path", would be no. How can something so random as the month you arrive into the world have anything to do with what you wind up doing to put food on the table.
