baseball butt .

At work yesterday, one of the other employees there asked me out of the blue if I had ever played baseball. With a bit of a confused look on my face, I answered, "Yes, for 13 years..." and probably continued to look a little puzzled. She immediately turned to her friend and proceeded to say, "See, I told you!!"

The friend smiled and said, "Why don't you tell him how you knew." Her reply?

"Your butt! You have a baseball player's butt!"

I laughed and replied, "I'll take that as a compliment."

Apparently, baseball players have a very distinctive butt. Of course, the other attributes are usually tall, lanky etc. But you know what? As much of an ego-feeder as that might be, I was flattered and don't at all have a problem with having a ballplayer's butt.

a touching story .

Every so often you come across something that just really touches you. Well, today was one of those days and I couldn't help but watch this video about Josiah Viera with tears streaming down my face for the majority of the second half.

I recommend watching it before you keep reading.
