The first athlete who mentions in his post-game interview "we played WELL tonight."
People who have gotten old enough to be comfortable in their own skin. And that includes not tightening their own skin. The body is beautiful, people. Unless there's something not working... damn, leave it alone.

People who volunteer. The people who go rushing in when we go rushing out. I stayed in my living room in NYC and watched CNN for 3 days and felt like I could barely breathe after 9/11, but they went in and dug and hoped and believed. Now they can barely breathe. The firemen in LA where I live now, battling heat and flames for days straight without any sleep. And those doing the same in San Diego, where I briefly lived and where my old neighborhood was evacuated. People who fight for what is right no matter what. People who dare to dream of better times with better ethics and a better world.
