I’m a fan of a lot of things – cheese, hot dogs, squeaky toys – but being a Number One Fan requires a lot more work.

You have to pay attention at all times so you don’t miss a second of the action.

You have to be willing to brave the elements and come prepared with extra blankies.

You have to keep your eyes glued on your favorite players at all times.

You have to keep a mental score as well.

You have to cheer the loudest out of anyone.

You have to empathize when the game gets a little tough.

You must never give up hope.

And you must ride along during every race as if you were there.

Congrats to my pal Boomerang for an excellent weekend competing in the MGAA Mid-Atlantic #1 Games Competition. And thanks for letting me come along for the ride.

xoxo Your Number One Fan,
