I was annoyed that Ozzie’s soccer practice got moved to another park. He hopped out of the car. I parked and hung out for a few minutes in the care for a few minutes to bang out some emails. I noticed someone skateboarding in a different section of the parking lot and almost immediately knew who it was, but it couldn’t be…

“You’re Andy, right?”

“Yeah”

“Hey, I’m Brad. I’m a big fan of yours. Just wanted to say hey and shake your hand.”

“Cool. Wow, those are some clear glasses!”

He’s one of the greatest skaters of all time and is certainly my favorite skater under 50 🤣. It was so cool to get to watch him practicing, largely unnoticed, no one filming him for anything. Just an incredible athlete practicing over and over and over again.
