FAQ

I know that it is the summer and it is tough to get a great audience at this time of the year. I am hoping to blow this thing  out of the water when football season starts and get some more readers. But I want to keep writing until then so I have to come up with things to write on. So today, I am going to write on the things that are important about me. These are not the every day questions one may ask me, because that would put you to sleep, but these are things the average person would not know about me. It is true, you may not care, but a few of you might at least smile one time when you read it.
I was born in Warner Robins in 1962. My claims to fame in that city are few. Let me see, I once scored 26 points in a basketball game when I was 12 years old. Of course I was as tall as I am right now,and with a father who stood only 5'4, there wasn't much chance that I would continue to grow. So that was pretty much the extent of my basketball career.
My best sport probably was baseball. I played on a 15 year old all star team that won state and district and lost in the regionals, and I started at first base and hit fifth. That team was loaded with talent, and included at least two players Mark Poston and Chris Pierce, that played minor league baseball. I played baseball at WRHS, but I was lazy lazy lazy. I was the token underachiever as an athlete. My biggest moment was when I was playing on that all star team and hit a grand slam in the semi-finals against a pitcher named TBONE. For that I got a quote in the paper, "It was a fastball, Kosater said. "I really wasn't trying to hit it out of the park I was just trying to make good contact." That was it, I was famous until the next ball game the next day.
I Just read the first part of what I wrote and if it bored me I am sure it has you too, so now I will just give you quick little hits and if you want me to expand what I said, feel free to make a comment.
