Exuberant I have not been

I have decided I am going to live vicariously through my 9-year-old niece.

This may sound a little odd, but I think she will try every extracurricular activity she finds. It is so exciting ... for me at least. Her parents are probably run ragged.

But her exuberance is contagious. It was band tonight -- Mom said she wanted to try four instruments.

I'm not sure I was ever exuberant, but I am trying.
