I always joked in years past that when that time came I would send a fax in from the Caribbean.

We talked to her a couple of times over the past few months, but she wasn't quite in a position to put together an actual show. I'm happy to be able to give her a break.

In the past two years this has become more than just anecdotal.

Happiness is the shadow of things past, Wich fools still take for that which is to be!

But what is past my help is past my care.

To all the players I had the chance to play with over my career, I thank you for all your hard work and dedication, your friendship, and for making this entire experience one I thoroughly enjoyed. To all my opponents over the years, I always had the utmost respect for your talents and how you competed every night. To the equipment guys and medical staffs, I thank you for all the hours you quietly put in to make sure that the players have the best opportunity to do their jobs well.
