    As opposed to how long you've been a square?

    While we are on the subject of fanhome, does anyone remember what year it was we moved from fanhome to bbb/bbf?
    The 12 years we've lasted here definitely beats the prior two stops.

    really well....long though...was in the hospital for 12 hours....7 of them knocked out.....3.5 hour surgery...doc said it went really well.right now the ping pong match in my chest is over.....that's a reall relief after weeks of dealing with it.......only downside is I thought it would get rid of some of my meds and instead they added one more....thanks for checking in my friend....the riverman lives to fish again...will be a bit fragile for a week or so but that's the new normal at 66....

    What’s crazy to me is they fire a blazer lifer in MB for a dude who just bails after a few years. Shows you how little KC cared.

    I think his age and this virus thing are connected to this...it could be he's just done....a lot of us geezers are not looking to travel much over the next couple years and in some cases it's for health reasons...

    Also, this makes me reminisce about the time I got the fortunate opportunity to meet Kevin Calabro. I said it then and I'll say it again, just an extremely classy guy, and conversated with me for about 10 minutes. About Basketball, I-5 being a traffic jam nightmare up in Seattle, and life. He is extremely personable and you could tell he lived and breathed what he did for a living, and he cares about folks.

    Thanks for the 4 years, Calabro. I can't imagine it was an easy decision given the passion you showed for your profession, but ultimately, it's your life and all the respect for that. Cheers!

    That fucking Dick....

    When we lost the championship my first season, I was gassed and out of basketball shape. I was missing free throws badly because I was that delirious. I decide to shoot a jump shot 15-footer to get some legs underneath it. As I was shooting it this MF says:

    "Takes a jumper from the free-throw"

    In a smarmy lil' bitch voice I'll never forget. Now, I'm not going to blame him for missing that free-throw because I was missing a lot of them but no I AM going to blame him for missing that fucking free throw....

    Great to hear Riv! But don’t get discouraged if the recovery takes awhile (discomfort wise). We’re not as young as we used to be.....And don’t be doing anything too strenuous (no, I don’t meaning “doing” the moderator) for a couple of weeks. Let yourself heal for awhile.

    Wait what? I missed you went back under the knife? Well a day late and a dollar short, but you can hopefully still accept my change. :)

    Glad to see your right back at it!
