I would be pretty excited to be watching pizza dough rize right about now...There's no food in my house.

I am mid-30s, by all accounts I remain pretty mobile and only a step slower than I used to be. Can the more "experienced" Redszoners give me some kind of sliding scale on the slope of descent from 25-30, 30-35, 35-40 etc.

20-25, lost 1/4 step

25-30, not quite a razor sharp as I used to be, lost another 1/4 step

30-35, became senile and curmudgeonly

35-40, pending

Oh man. Are you in for a surprise. He holds a grudge.

At 35, I was still pretty competitive playing tennis, and could hold my own against a lot of college players I used to hit with, but instead of running them around like I used to do, they were running me around like a yo-yo on a string.

I had a seasons pass at Vail that winter, and we started every day jumping off a 20 foot cliff on the back bowls. I skiied with ski patrol buddies all day, every day.

I'm 51 now, and those are bygone memories. Advil is now my friend.

No more cliff jumps.

Re: David Weathers and Ben Weber sign w/ Reds (per Enquirer)

I'd have much perfered to let Claussen and Hudson cut their teeth in the bullpen. Loading up on veteran relievers is the last thing I would have done. I would have dangled a guaranteed rotation spot to some FA pitchers trying to (re)establish themselves as starters and gone with a young bullpen.
