But I'm feeling the aches of my age more each day. My shoulder isn't what it used to be. My knees need iced done from years of squatting (that's for catching - get your dirty minds out of the gutter). And my swings simply don't have the power that a really good team needs for me to be at the bat...<br /><br />No, Suldog! You're not getting old. You still have the stuff to play the game. You are the great player that any team would love to have...<br />*****<br /><br />Oh, wait! This isn't <i>that</i> type of "end of softball for the year" post. See, you make me totally discombobulated... or maybe semi-combobulated... when you don't make the usual posts.<br /><br />Anyhow, great that you met your not-your-uncle Skip and your not-your-grandmother Grandmother Skip.

That's what happens when you keep showing up! Bigger numbers - home runs, for example - are, to be kind to myself, not my forte. I should have been keeping track of balls hit off my body.
