Happy Birthday Dad!

Just had to give a shout out to my dear old Dad, Big Leo that he is. He’s in pretty good shape for a man his age…and considering the mileage!

I realize that we’re almost two weeks into August with very little blogging having been accomplished but my REAL job (the work I get paid for!) has been pretty busy of late. Yes, Bonds has surpassed Hank Aaron’s homerun record. Yes, the Mariners are still playing pretty darn good (though Seattle-ites in the know are saving their energy for the last weeks of August). Yes, there’s been lots of stuff coming out o the Seahawks’ training camp I could be discussing…in fact, I’m supposed to be blogging the Seahawks’ training camp for USA Today (a long story to be discussed later).

I’ve been busy and that’s the bottom line. Heck, I haven’t even got my wish list for fantasy football updated, and draft day is fast approaching.

But there’s no excuse for not wishing my Leo father a happy birthday. You can love ‘em or hate ‘em…but NEVER ignore Leo. That’s just about the worst hurt you can inflict on them. Fortunately, they’re easy to love and they naturally draw attention.

Happy Birthday, Dad!
