Reporters Notebook (gburg times: 092207): "Bermudian"

I was talking football with my Uncle Jeff at a recent family picnic, particularly about a Penn State running back who is now in the pros.
“He’s got natural talent,” I recall Uncle Jeff saying. “One of the best athletes I’ve ever seen. He leaves it all on the field.”
My response was naturally clever.
“Kinda like me when I was in school,” I said.
Across the picnic table, Aunt Connie blew me kisses.
Beside me, Aunt Sharon rolled her eyes.
Coincidentally, she’s a Bermudian graduate.
(I love her anyway, though.)
