re: #312 HappyWarrior

Growing up in the Basketball State (Indiana), basketball was what every kid was “expected” to play. Despite my well-above-average height, I was never all that good on the court. I also played T-ball when I was a kid. Being in the conservative bubble kind of insulated me from more “world-centric” games like soccer, and being in the northernmost reaches of the South meant that hockey was right out.
