    By the way, I was hanging out with Johnny Bench, but I don't have a photo.. What a great all-round fella.

    I wish I'd have known you were going to see him. He's an Okie you know. I'd have had you ask him who the all time best catcher is, Pudge Rodriguez or Yadier Molina.

    He was great.. There was a guy there who asked him to sign a bat. He said "No, sorry, I don't do bats."

    The guy, a trader, shuffled off dejected.

    Somebody leaned over to Johnny and said, "That guy's boy is handicapped. It's the real deal. It would mean a great deal to that kid."

    Johnny called over to the guy "Come back. Come back here. Let me sign that bat!" And he did. What a great guy. I saw the whole thing.

    BTW, what is that you're wearing? It looks like some kind of modified fashinista version of a Mao jacket or something and I'm starting to worry that NYC may be wearing off on you...

    Hank, you should know that my wife buys all of my clothes. I wear whatever she puts in front of me. Keeps it simple.

    Niner, I can't give stock advice, and you probably don't want my advice anyway. If I knew how to invest, I wouldn't be working..

    The congregation of humanoids that I "know" as a result of this asylum is especially difficult to contemplate.

    You look good, Foo... dropped some of that extra weight you found up in Jersey
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
