As none of you know, I am in the solder business. About 10 years ago I set up a Google Alert so that every time the word "solder" appeared in an online article, I would get an email with a link to it. I've done that to keep up with industry news. Works pretty well.
Starting about 7 years ago I would get an alert now and then about this kid named "Solder" and how he was doing in high school football. I would read some because of my interest in football. When he was getting recruited for college the articles increased, and then decreased again until he became a semi-star. The last couple of years I'd see one once every 2 weeks or so.
Then when the draft talk started kicking up I'd get more and more of these articles, up to several per day. It was actually getting a little annoying...
And then today!
I feel like I've followed this kid his entire career and now that he's on the Pats - feels awesome.
Needless to say, I'm getting a Solder jersey for me and my boss.
I know, cool story bro and BFD ... I'm just a little blown away now.
