Your son is already 6’3” and he’s only 14??? Seems like the NBA might want to look into scouting more redheads if that is the rule rather than the exception.

Seriously, though, I know redheads are usually exceptionally fair-skinned and prone to sunburns, which in turn makes them at an increased risk of skin cancer. My best friend’s red-headed, fair-skinned and freckled husband who is remarkable in his even-tempered demeanor for ANYONE, red-head or not, went to a dermatologist about some suspicious areas that turned out to be basal cell carcinoma. Got to it early and he will be fine.

Moral of the story: hats of all sorts, sunscreen and SPF clothing are all the friends of red-heads everywhere.

Yep, and he doesn't play basketball (never seen him dribble) and doesn't like baseball either. His Jr. High school gym teacher and now his Freshman high school gym teachers have both asked him to play basketball. He's told them in no uncertain terms "NO." His high school basketball coach called here last week and I told him the same thing "if he doesn't want to play, he doesn't have to play."

So much for a college scholarship, guess I'm paying his way...
