me and a couple of other 12's went to the cincy game and the osu-maryland game, and I got to go to the hof in canton. we got the distinct honor of meeting in person kalibane. great guy, holds himself exactly as he represents himself here, ie very intelligent, knowledgeable fan. only thing is that I was expecting someone that looks more like myself, ie fat, gray haired old man. more on all that later.
anyhow, i'll be reading everything you folks write but my responses may be limited and disjointed.

Nah- he said before he doesn't throw with the money-making arm- he'll still have his 90mph fastball.
Great hearing some of you got together- looking forward to meeting up sometime.

Riv is also overstating his size and he's got the silver fox thing going. I don't have gray yet but I'd take gray hair over my thinning hair any day of the week. I reckon I have about 3-5 years before I'm just shaving it all off. Riv is also exactly the guy you'd think he is without the crankiness. Really good dude.
We just needed Bob to come up from Kentucky...

And believe me Bob sure wanted to!
My new tech starts the 26th of this month, and then it'll take me the rest of this season to get him trained up enough to where I can leave the plant in his hands for the Monday and Tuesday after a game ... so if this one doesn't leave before next season (as has happened to me this season and last) I may be able to meet up at an away game next year.
Glad you guys had fun!

RiverDog wrote:You will have to forgive me as I forced Greg to repeat to Kal the story, of which he was most eager to do, of the time that you committed the ultimate sin of forgetting the game tickets and forcing your buddy to save a parking spot by sitting in a lawn chair while he was wearing Seahawk colors in the midst of a sea of enemy orange while you retrieved the tickets. That roasting alone should motivate you to attend such gatherings in the future so as to defend yourself.

It really is amazing how quickly somebody can have surgery and be sent home nowadays. Anyway, get back to using that left hand for whatever you use it for soon!

I've always worried when you don't post for a few days and hesitate to ask or pm about your status in that you might not feel like talking about it. Silly, isn't it? I lost my dad at age 59 to cancer. The mere mention of the word scares the crap out of me.
So glad to hear that you're doing well.
Hawk Sista wrote:Thanks, RD. It has been a trippy time, for sure. I never really thought I was going to kick the bucket (and it looks like all ya'll are stuck with me for awhile). I have a very different opinion of what is important these days, though. I'm sorry to hear your Dad was so young. In having cancer, one learns just how many people have been impacted deeply by the wretched disease. I hope you are doing better this week.
