Again I sit in front of this computer and can't think of anything to say that would be remotely interesting. However, I was asked to post something so when people click on my blog they are not greeted with the same thing day after day after day.
I have switched up my daily routine by joining the local YMCA. So instead of getting up at 6:30..showering...then going back to bed....I now awake at 5-5:15....get dressed....make my lunch...and head to the Y. I still eat turkey for lunch everyday. It is delicious.
Today I decided I'm not old but I am definitely on my way. I was listening to the radio this morning and they were interviewing ex-tiger Travis Fryman. He was talking about he coaches kids now and how they don't even know that he was a major leaguer. I did not want to hear this. It was only yesterday when I was sitting at Tiger Stadium enjoying probably the best blue raspberry frozen coke I have ever tasted and watching Travis Fryman play. To hear that he is virtually an unknown name now was quite depressing. Do kids have any recollection of Mickey Tettleton, Rob Deer, or even Cecil Fielder? Milt Cuyler, Scott Livingstone, Chad Curtis, Bill Gullickson, Mike Henneman ? They should know Trammell and Gibson since they were around not too long ago. By the time Seth can appreciate baseball, names like Inge, Polanco, Granderson, and Zumaya probably won't be as well known as they are right now. I guess only time will tell. Too bad Ernie Harwell can't live forever and sign a million year contract to broadcast baseball games. I'm glad I got to hear him growing up.
So yes, at 22 years of age I'm reminiscing. I guess I'm not old, just older than before. I suppose that's the way it works. Anyways, it's my bedtime. Goodnight Everyone and have a pleasant tomorrow.
P.S. Aunt Joyce I think it was you who bought me that ever so delicious frozen coke on a hot summer day, so for that, I am forever grateful.

What a lovely post. Ernie was a great naptime voice. Listening to the old radio while lying in the sun at Joslin Lake, mmm...summer.

If you can remember things like that you've got a long way to go before you're even near getting old. It's true you are getting older, so how long does it take to get old if we're all getting older? Thanks for updating, I had the entry before this entry memorized.
