Isn't there an age limit on this and aren't I past the cut off point?
8 things about Joe that Edwin did not know.
1) I grew up two blocks from a Nike site. No that is not where they make shoes, but where they launched Nike missiles in case some Commie aircraft flew over Lake Erie and needed to be shot down.
2) I caught passes from Joe Montana. I was a student manager of athletics at Notre Dame when Joe was there. When warming up, quarterbacks often do not catch passes in case they would jam their fingers. So Joe threw to me and I handed the ball to another quarterback who would throw it to a manager standing next to Joe.
3) I am jealous that Edwin is able to run shirtless and show off his pecs. Of course at his pace, there is not enough movement for anything to jiggle too much anyways. I will never run shirtless, except maybe in the Sun City Seniors 5k, though I wore Speedos to a wicked pool party once.
4) My daughter is smarter than I am and I'm not so dumb. Well at least in book learnin' matters. Not sure about common sense.
5) Now to make Edwin really jealous. I've sat in a bath naked with a bunch of Japanese businessmen in Tokyo and then sang karaoke afterwards. Evening also included lot's of sake and raw fish.
6) I struck out at tee ball. Maybe that's why I don't pay any attention to baseball, it brings back deep routed psychological scars.
7) My aunt owned a funeral home and it was always fun to play hide and seek there. We couldn't get in the embalming room though.
8) Having shown essentially no athletic promise for 49 years, I decided to become an athlete, which I proclaim that I now am. However prior to that, I thought I would become a musician, having shown no musical promise or experience previously (other than singing a Christmas solo "Oh Come All Ye Faithful" as an eighth grade soprano). I chose the banjo. I suck at the banjo. I run better with both legs cramped and a damaged achilles tendon than I play the banjo. So my advice, if you try something and you are REALLY bad at it, then try something else. Duh.
Do I really have to tag eight more people? Do they have to be bloggers?

so did you get to go when ND played Houston in the Cotton Bowl?
There is no age limit cut-off for nonsense!
I'm not sure what part to comment on though...Oh come all ye bad t-ball and banjo players, use some common sense and listen to Joe. He's the one in his speedo and shirt, soaking in Lake Erie with Asian men, and watching for commies.
You've lived a very interesting life. No wonder Edwin's jealous!
