Iron Man!

Please indulge me for a moment while I venture off-topic for the merest of moment. Readers who want all baseball, all the time, feel free to skip this post.

I would be remiss if I didn't offer my sincerest and most heart-felt congratulations to my friend and co-worker Mark. Mark completed the Ironman Triathalon held this weekend in and around Madison, Wisconsin, mostly in the midst of a cold September rain.

Completing a triathlon is a phenomenal achievement and one deserving of major props (as the youngsters in Mark's demographic would say). Congratulations again!

We now return to regular programming...
