He played for the Pirates for one season, then went on to fame and fortune with an 11-year stint with the Yankees. The Pirates were good back then (remember "The Lumbar Company"?), but it appears we lost him to free agency.
I remember the “We Are Family” Pirates!
 
Hope your day is going well!
To quote Louis Gossage from An Officer and A Gentleman - “Looky Looky Here!” Looks like our representatives and senators decided to get along and they passed the non-partisan PACT act which benefits veterans that are in desperate need of healthcare that VA was not covering. Awesome!

Refreshing shave - literally 😂. I was going back and forth on which lemony or tea scented cologne I should use - and wham-o! I remembered I had one that even matched the color scheme (which we all know is important in a shave 😆). I almost went with 4711 Lemon & Ginger - which is a fine choice as well.

Excited that we got a call back from the government placement agency that there is a farm interested in Aidan and we have our final interview on Saturday! So hopefully we can lock this down - I think this is a perfect situation for him! It is a little farther than I’d like - but hey - I will take it and am grateful for the farm to consider him so wish him luck on Saturday!

Have a great start to your weekend!

This is such great news! I hope all goes well in his interview. Sounds like a terrific experience. (y)

I was going to complain about the color scheme for being multicolored, then I realized you had crafted your colors as an homage to my hometown pro sports teams. Thank you, Brian, it's very thoughtful of you. 😁

I wanted something simple, citrusy, and boozy - and this delivered! Very refreshing shave and still something I think you could pull of on a summer going out evening - it is very classy smelling - along the same ilk as a Guerlain L’Homme Ideal Cologne!

Well today was very eventful! Aidan did his first day of work for his summer apprenticeship. Very thankful to the farm that gave him the opportunity! And there will be more weekends to come but today was a very good start. We picked potatoes as his first job and he knocked it out of the park!
