ok guys, as I'm sitting here typing this to you, I'm still speechless.

The cake's all gone. The family and friends are on their way home. Kids are in bed, we're starting to unwind from a wonderful party where my wife pulled out all the stops.

and I'm sitting here holding this envelope and certificate. The certificate says that this time next year, I will be attending the January session of the New York Yankees Fantasy Camp.

speechless.......absolutely speechless my friends..........

Happy B-day and a very cool gift! When you're at the camp just be sure not to knock down Joe Pepitone when he's crowding the plate on you!!

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes.

This event is a once in a lifetime thing. I will be like a 7 year old all over again. I have been told that the autograph opportunities are endless. When I get there, I envision that my wife will be overnighting things to me to get signed!

and now I have a year to get in shape!

Jim,

happy birthday, and what a cool gift! Now you need to order a few bats to use for camp. I picked one up from SAM bat, and it looks great. Fast turnaround time too.

I was thinking about that. Maybe 2 bats? I've always wanted my own bat. I have a LS with the same last name (block letters) as me that belonged to a minor leaguer. I keep it on my desk. Used to tell folks that it was my "timesheet adjustment tool" when they screwed up their payroll timesheets. :)
