Old guys have money
I definitely don't give off that impression.

On the other hand, getting old is kinda awesome. You have perspective and experience and its really never too late to start something new.

I bruised my tailbone on May 27. It is still bothering me. Something so simple never would have lingered this long a few years ago. It is annoying enough that I'm hoping we somehow have enough guys at softball tonight that I can sit out a second week. I'll probably play regardless and just deal with it though. Our normal first baseman is on vacation in Florida so I'll just stick to first and take it easy on the bases. I felt stupid enough last week telling people that I shouldn't play because I'd fallen on my butt the Sunday before. I can't bring myself to do that again.

I guess the fact that my driver's license tells me I'm now fitty is a pretty good sign I'm getting old.
I hope by the time I'm sixty I figger out what I'm going to do with my life.

Crazy isn't it? I'm a year from 60. It's weird to begin realizing life is more happened than happening.

Nice to hear from you Leroy.
