Thanks for the well wishes guys. I was in Canada for a week over my birthday. Since I got back I've had to fix a number of cars, deal with parts for a client, and help my son and daughter inlaw as they bounce off the perverbial bottom and get their lives turned around, so I've been MIA at a lot of places. I've got other things going on too. Here's a hint, I was shooting video footage in Canada.

Would you believe I am 44 now? Get this, I was at a party last weekend and I was playing volleyball in a crowd of 14 people (7 per team). Most of them were older teenagers and 20-somethings. By the time it was over there was only me and a 32 year old guy left. Everyone else was too hot, tired, and whipped to play anymore. I guess all that X-box and Play Station experience couldn't enable them to hang with the two oldest guys there.

I believe Mark Twain was the first to point that out. It was only when I hit "that age" that I could fully appreciate the meaning of it though.

When the 32 year old pointed out how the "youngin's" were dropping like flies I responded with "Gee, you would think with playing football, baseball, and basketball all summer that they would be in better shape than us." The funny thing is that they don't do that anymore, and I know that. That's why I made the comment.

When we were their age (teenagers) we would play football all day long, or baseball, or basketball. Maybe if we couldn't get enough people together we would ride our bikes all over town. At any rate we were getting exercise by having fun. I guess these are mostly all spectator sports now, unless you consider Madden Football "playing" a sport?

I have stories that I told my kids about when Dad was a kid playing games. I have a story about how my friend Bill lifted me off the ground with his knee in my crotch while I was trying to block against him in a football game. I have a story about how Kurt ran me over at the sideline while I was the only one there to make a play against a guy twice my size. I have other stories about diving catches in a baseball game and how I could throw a ball accurately across my body while falling forward after making a stabbing catch. I was never in any organized sports, it was just whoever we could get together.

What will today's teenagers be telling their kids? "Yeah, I used to kill on Madden Football. I could really push those buttons."

It is such a different day we live in.
