Happy Belated Birthday to Buster Posey!!!
The Daily News1 Yeah, Buster! Same day as mines, but I try always to keep my birthday a secret.2 So okay, it was yesterday.
3 But I usually try to keep it a secret because I don't know why.
4 Someone ALWAYS realizes it, and it leaks out, but for me, it's just another day.
5 I figure everybody has a birthday every year, and trying to keep up on that stuff could wear a person out.
6 Also, years ago, I got spanked by some overly energetic students, and my ass burned for around two days. We all laughed though, but literally it hurt so badly that I had to lecture standing up.
7 So I always appreciate kind words, letters and all the rest. Kind people send kind thoughts.
8 So for those of you who sent me all those wonderful emails, FB comments and all the rest, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
9 Birthdays are wid.
10 You love them when you're young, and you fear them as you get older.
11 Either way, my thanks to all of you who threw such kind and wonderful wishes my way.
12 It really did feel good, and much nicer than spending two days with a painful ass.
13 For the record, my best thing was that my Dad is again in and out of the hospital and doing well once more.
14 And my wife and daughters gave up their weekend to take me to Joe's for a wonderful dinner and some hearty laughter.
15 I am so blessed to have so many people actually care that I continue to turn into an old geezer.
16 I feel younger than ever, but that is very much thanks to all of you for being so cool.
17 Whatdya say to having so many people who are wonderful?
18 I can say only one word: thanks.
19 It is an event that happens every year, and every year I dread it.
20 But my family took me to good ol' Joe's last night, and it was heroic.
21 So thank you all, young and old, for the emails, comments, thoughts, and love.
22 It did make for a beautiful day.
23 Moving on, Part the First: The tough thing about all of it was that I got to sleep last night much later than usual.
24 And I had to get today's DN in a bit later than usual.
25 Ah, it's all good.
26 Tryin' man, tryin'!
27 It's WAY late for this old brown shoe as I compose this drivel, almost 11 p.m., which used to be normal!
28 Don't get old, dudes.
29 One fun thing I learned: Buster Posey's birthday is the same day as mines.
30 Mines. That always kills me.
31 So lotta news, not the least of which that baseball officially starts on Thursday, which is payday, March 31. And it is a complete coincidence that this is item 31 on today's DN.
32 Gonna be fun, but there is a bit of a pall with Cody Ross and Brian Wilson down. But it's gonna be fun, and look to the A's to be taken quite seriously by every serious baseball person as well. We could potentially have a Bay Area World Series.
33 Both teams are going to be competitive, so I'm looking forward to this rain letting up for a few days, and then jumping into a fun Spring.
34 So that's about it for a Monday when I got to bed "late" last night.
35 Gonna fly low today, even though I got plenty of sleep. It's my gift to myself.
36 See you all tomorrow.
37 You fly low too.
38 Peace.
