#UNCHALLENGED
Quick two pass shave that left me surprisingly BBS. God, I freakin' love this set. No cold shower this morning as I took mine before bed last night after working out. I remain the iceman.

Writing about my childhood these past few days has made me nostalgic for many things, but none more than baseball. The game was an enormous part of my youth (and, sadly, not so much a part of my adult life). As I grow older, I can’t help but think about the Glory Days, so that is my song for the day.
Bruce talks about his friend who could throw that speedball by you - I had those friends. If we're all being at least a little bit honest this month, I can tell you I sucked at baseball. But I had some friends that were damn good and fun to play with. Either way it is fun to remember baseball, the heat of the Florida sun, that baseball clay grinding beneath our spikes, the sound of a ground ball coming off a bat.
Glory Days also makes me think about the fleeting nature of youth, the punch of sadness you feel when you think about the good old days, and how you never really know you're living the good old days until they're over.
