Wow. Good job, Mikey's kids.

Thanks all, it certainly was a proud couple of moments. Not ruined at all by the fact that my son, unlike all the other students being honored who simply stepped up to the microphone and introduced themselves and their schools, bent to the mike and shouted, "Hello, baseball fans!"

IDK about that, but I damn near pissed myself. Almost as good as his best friend and teammate who followed him by saying his name and then mentioning that "I play baseball like a boss."

Amusing good? Amusing bad? Amusing "I hope I don't flood the building."?

Is that a euphemism, or do you really have to make plumbing repairs?

Back in Miami for 3 days after two Panama cruises, looking forward to sleep!
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
