One in a Row
One in a row. Let that sink in.  You can't get to two in a row without one in a row.  You just have to start.  Is it a generational difference, maybe.  As kids we sure seemed more willing to get our one in a row. Just got out and do it, sometimes with reckless abandon. Our kids now our more measured.  In this episode we look at getting one in a row and how our kids now get their two in a rows.  You just have to start.
