I can't remember a time when my mom didn't work. She has forever been on the move: a go-getter. When my brother Adel and I had a paper route as kids my mom would get up before us at the crack of dawn to drop off the Washington Post at different corners.
I really believe that what happens one day affects the next and I think that came from that experience of learning that if I told the score inning by inning play by play it built up to its natural climax.
