As I mention here on occasion, one of my two serious sports is frisbee freestyle (the other is basketball). This year, together with my son Ryan, I managed to place well in a couple of tournaments, so I'm very happy with the fact that I'll finish the year ranked 90th in the world, up 5 places from last year, out of 450 or so ranked players. Ryan will finish at 98th. Ryan is technically better than me, but he has fewer overall points because he missed a tournament last year. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I get to play regularly not only with Ryan, but also with Toddy Brodeur, Alan Caplin, Petri Isola, Rick Williams, and Steve Scannell, who are also Boston-area freestylers. They'll finish the year ranked 9th, 34th, 37th, 38th, and 52nd, respectively, and needless to say they're all way ahead of me in their freestyle capabilities. I consider it an honor to be able to jam with them.
I wonder if Ryan and I are the first father-son freestyle duo to be in the top 100 together?
