Time to face the truth...I'm not 25 anymore!

As the title tells you, it's time for me to face the truth...I'm not 25 anymore...it's tough to think about it but my body is yelling at me for years of athletic abuse...Football, wrestling, baseball, hockey, softball, golf...name it, I've probably done it...my soon to be 43 year old body is getting tougher to get going after years of my own stupidity and after all of those stupid things, yard work may be my final undoing...I was taking care of the leaves and other junk Wednesday night at the house and I was pulling my large can, not the one attatched to my body and I felt and something tear in my right shoulder...my softball career or lack of it is in peril...I'm going to rest the should, the one I throw with for a few weeks and see how it is after that...the thing I love most about playing softball is the crew that I have been with for the past 15 years...believe it or not it's not about playing softball, it's about the hanging out with the guys and their families after the games...we've been thru everything together and they are my best friends and I don't want to lose that...I'll sit out for a few weeks and see if this old body can be good enough for another run in a little bit...if you find the Fountain of Youth, let me know...Dan
