Happy birthday to a chip off the old block.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Happy birthday, Mark!
I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night.

HBD!  You don't look a day over 250.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Softball is off for "Winter". Still playing floorball twice a week.

Jogged 2 1/2 miles for the first time in maybe forever tonight before having dinner. I'm still doing alright.

Thanks again for the birthday wishes, gang!

That sounds great, Mark. Keep going, because taking a brake may be taking a permanent one in that the playing inertia is broken.
