Glee fans, you will be jealous to hear that Sue Sylvester is one of my personal friends. In real life, she is a San Francisco criminal defense lawyer who spends one afternoon per week at the Mission Dolores School, coaching 15-year old girls on the basketball field. On TV, Sue always wears track suits, but my Sue usually wears fancy business suits during her office hours and sweat pants and a probably mismatched T-shirt when she goes to her school. She loves her girls. But it’s tough love; the kids have to earn it when she schelps them around the basketball field. “Single file, prison style!”
Every Thursday, she gives me a call when she’s done coaching and drives through our neighborhood on her way back to her office to defend criminals. Every week, she inspires me to make a difference in this world. I know, it’s an awful lot of work. But as one of my former bosses would say: “Well, if it’s so much work, let’s get started then!”
Let's go for it in 2011!
I looooooove Sue!!!! So yeah, I am jealous.
