Backwards

"No one can give you courage. No one can thicken your skin. I will not fail so you can be comfortable. I will not lose because you can't win." -- Jason Robert Brown

I went out to pick up breakfast with my father this morning. As is the norm on a weekday, Bagel Works was packed with patrons, including one twentysomething man wearing a backwards Boston Red Sox cap. Never one to miss an opportunity to needle a fan of a team that sucked for 86 years, Dad locked eyes with the man and smirked.

"Your hat is on backwards," said Dad.

The man gave a pained sigh. "Yeah. They suck."

Dad blinked, said nothing. The man paid for his order and left.
