End of an Era

I confess to very mixed feelings about this.  My ball team is not going to have a ball team this year.  I have been with these boys since 2006.  I know they are getting older as I have mentioned before.  And the truth is it is getting harder to field a team due to various health issues among them.  And yes, I know with my dual citizenship it would be more difficult to keep up with the team than in years past.  However, with all that, I am going to miss these boys.  I am going to miss being on the ball field with them.  I am going to miss their wives.  They have been so good to me over the years but as in all the other things I find myself facing as I get older, life goes on.  I will miss them.  I will miss the camaraderie of the ball field and I will miss seeing dear friends.  As they are not fielding a team this year unless I get recruited by another team this will be the first year since oh, 2002 that I have not been to Raleigh for Sr. games.  I am going to miss this.  Another way that time marches on.
