I didn’t have the quick wit of the truly bright kids I had to work a little harder for my grades. Yet I didn’t really fit in with the smart kids, either. So I focused on school and graduated with honors. I tried out for football and lacrosse at Notre Dame I was cut from both teams. I was good at sports, but not a superstar. But I was clearly awkward about it, and I didn’t really fit in. I dated women because that’s what the guys I spent most of my time with did. Although I was team captain, my football teammates would tease that I was afraid of girls. In high school, they jokingly called me Oz, after the sensitive jock from American Pie.
