(Oct 26 06, 11:05)hurt my knee. played for a team in elgin for a year after rehab but i had to make a decision in my career as to what i wanted to do. baseball, a game that i loved but would never go anywhere as i was a liability, or... well... here i am. design. yay!
funny how things come full circle as i'm close friends with some guys who play pro now and i'm somewhat back in it again. i put on some catching gear over the weekend and caught for a buddy while at his house. actually his garage which was more than big enough. forgot how fast those guys can throw.

I married and divorced my first wife. I started painting again, and shortly thereafter started getting commissions for portraits. Started a band with my sister.
The first 3 months were tough, both emotionally and financially, but what doesn't kill ya...

nope. i'm thinking of the riverdogs. the riverdogs are the yankees but they're out of south carolina.
he must have played for the columbus clippers out of ohio. they were AAA though. i never made it that high up.

alright k0na, I've been reading your stories and either you're making them up or you lead one hell of an interesting life, or at least tell good stories about it :P
In any case, I'm starting the 'Draft k0na to write a book' campaign. If some dork dressed like a pirate can sell a bunch of books I don't see why you couldn't.
