    My mom, the sneaky motivator

    I will not say my mother was a modern day Ma Barker. I won’t even say she was conniving. But I will grant that she reminds me a little bit of Jeff Van Gundy, coach of the New York Knicks in the 1990’s, for the way he would concoct conspiracy theories to motivate his team. Oh, and she is short like Van Gundy, too.
