Thanks, SC. I have had him in physical therapy for his pitching shoulder, which was sore after he played into the Fall. Nothing serious, but we keep him on pitch counts.

As I was driving him to the hospital in his car, I saw him cry for the first time in years. He was broken hearted that he might miss the season.

Right now he's asleep on the couch with the ankle raised and wrapped. He's talking in his sleep about a girl, so I know his spirits are up. He and I split a pizza about an hour ago. It went down easy for him, but it won't set well with me.
