...After Mass, my parents and I often ate breakfast at our local diner, the Bark River Café. There, I would often share a booth with my two closest friends, as their parents had the same ritual of going to the café after church.

...first day of preseason practice is always an eye-opener for the freshmen on the Harvard football team. In full pads, in the muggy Massachusetts heat, the rookies get a crash course in college ball. The pace is vastly swifter than in high school. Coaches bark out rapid-fire orders. The drills are complex. The running never stops...
