BEST PHYSICAL SHAPE
Still, I'm excited about the new stadium for the New York Yankees. It had to be done, and they are doing it right, I guess, from what I've read. Mr. Callahan, who is in my diabetes support group, is a big Yankee's fan, too. He saw some of the greats play. And he even remembers seeing them play as a boy in the old Polo Grounds, where the Yankees played until 1922, the year before the current park opened. Now he wants to go see a game in the new stadium. Mr. Callahan is 95 year old, and is in better physical shape than I am. He is training for the Chicago and Boston Marathons. He can run consecutive 5 to 6 minute miles. I can't even drive my car that fast. He saw them play a lot in the 1940's. He talks about it like it was yesterday. Now he is thinking that he may go with his girlfriend to New York some time after July 04, just to see what the new place looks like. He was joking the other day that he may want to break the new place in and not visit for another five years, or until his 100th birthday. Then he winked and said that he better go, especially if I go with, because he doesn't know how long I might have. Thanks a lot, I said.
