   What if Navid was doing an article on retired Baby Boomers, and he portrayed me as a lazy, shiftless person who was fortunate to have a devoted caring wife who allowed me to indulge in my leisure-time pursuits.

   Basketball had taken me and my family from the small town of Carver, Massachusetts, to the Washington, DC, area so that I could play in a stronger league in high school.
