41 is blowin' by, and 42 is coming on strong.
Age never seemed to bother me much, until the past 6 months or so. I've never been in great shape, and my body never used to hurt like it does now. I used to have to put on ointments to soothe muscle pain after playing basketball, or working hard in the yard all day. Now, I need ointments to just roll out of bed!
For some reason, I'm starting to feel like there's more life behind me than in front of me. I start to wonder if I'm on the right path. If I'm doing what I'm meant to do. This may sound defeatist. As my High School football coach, Mr. Spoerl, would have said," Whigham, you're a fathead...now get out there and play ball!"
But something cool popped up on the news today. Today, for the first time in MLB (Major League Baseball) history, 7 men who are in there 40's will start in games. Wow! Guys my age, pushin' off the mound...throwin' curve balls...striking out batters...winning games...making milions...millions...millions...
Somehow, now I feel worse!
After a lengthy sabatical, he sits in front of his computer, fingers ready at the keyboard. So much to say...so much to write. Topics race wildly through his mind, each fighting for the right to take their rightful place on the field of honor...the blog. Many will read the entries. Some will cry. Some will laugh. But one thing is certain...he must write, because he is...the Media Pastor.
