While cleaning out a closet, Rizzo discovered this gem of childhood writing that was required to be shared with the world!
Getting old is a difficult thing especially when you are working hard to lose weight or at least keep of the weight you have already lost. I learned the terrible lesson this week that I have been joking about for years. I used to joke that I have been a 60-year-old man stuck in a younger body since I was 16. Finally, my body has caught up with me and I’m a 36-year-old man living in a 60-year-old body.
This week was relatively uneventful. I did lots and lots of marketing and networking with some good results. I got in my regular workouts, lost my shirt in poker on Saturday night, and was able to lose a bit of weight in the process.

The last time I timed myself for a mile run was back in November (I also spent some time Up on the Roof). At that time I ran a mile in 8:52 which represented (1) only the second sub-10 minute mile of my life and (2) the first time I ran under a 9 minute mile. November was a long time ago so on Saturday I thought I'd lace up the sneaks and try to pull my best Prefontaine impression to see check out my mile time.
The designated hitter. The difference between playing in the American League and the National League of Major League Baseball. A position created out of the fans desire to watch massive home runs. A position created out of fear of pitchers being injured while batting. A position that isn't a position at all. A rouse. A cheat. A scam.
