Fulfilling Unrealized Dreams

I never played in organized football.  I don't watch football.  I know nothing about football.  I joined a flag football team.

This past Saturday I was playing flag football in Roosevelt Park with a my Meetup group (http://www.meetup.com/flagfootball-84/) and no one seemed to want to be Quarterback for our advancement.

I took a shot at it.  As you can see in the picture, I tossed the ball, it wasn't intercepted and my teammate caught it, advancing us ten yards.  I QBed again and made it another "ten yards."  On the third down, I threw the ball to Alex who caught it at the end of the end-zone with only one hand.  Way to go Alex!  Way to go me!  I lived in Boston when the Patriots won the Super Bowl and imagined how cool it would be to be Tom Brady, and for a few minutes, I felt great.  Wow, I threw three completions for a touchdown!  So Cool!

Of course, then I QBed again and had two interceptions.  Brought me back to Earth. I look forward to playing again this weekend.

What successes have you unexpectedly had that brought you some excitement?
