Lest anyone think that I lack any appreciation for sports requiring balls (other than the serious nads sported by pro-cyclists), I'll admit to being a fan of basketball - not the "game" played by over-payed egomaniacs in the NBA, but basketball for the love of the game.  Truth be told, shooting hoops with my six year-old daughter April has become a favorite after-work and weekend pastime of mine.  Basketball is April's "other sport" - her first is gymnastics (she's a USGA Level 3 competitive gymnast and a rising star on Team Elite), but I suspect that she'd be good at almost any sport.  Watching her team play is more exciting to me than any NBA game!
