Stay tuned for the teams and golf format for this years competition.
Final details are being worked out.

Dancer is polishing up the trophy as I type this.

Don't Clench:

So there I was sitting there minding my own business. I'm in the room waiting for my doctor to give me my annual check up. I was sure we would do the same we have done for the past 16 years. Reminisce about good times, talk about my blood work, he would ask about my happiness, family, workout habits, etc. You know, he'd slyly do the ol' psycho analysis as well as the physical analysis of me. Don't worry, don't worry... I never tell people what I really think.

Then we would talk about my families’ heart problems and how I really want to outlive my Dad and Grandfather who died at 75 years of age. You guys know the routine. It was all safe, standard routine stuff.

THEN, he reminded me I was 40 now and he broke out the glove and the K.Y. Do I really need to say anymore?? I can barley remember the rest of the examination. I do recall he said I made it worse because I clenched. So, if you never listen to a word I say the rest of my life. Listen to me now..."Don't Clench".

On my way home I called my wife and Stubby for moral support. Then, as I drove, I thought about prostate exams and became relatively sure that the doctor is supposed to use his finger....... oh well.

I think I speak for us all when I say - Good frickin' Lord what the hell are we all in for...

All tray tables and seats to their upright and locked position:

Gentlemen,
We are at 1 month exactly till Jake. I'm told plans are still being formulated. At present, Stubby & Heff are both ruing the day they ever took on this God forsaken task.

I don't know much about the particulars of the day but please check back often here at Jakersdelight to see what's in store come June 20th, 2008.

And just to liven up the proceedings here's a classic from 2003 of Heff getting "blocked" while he was "doin' some work" trying to "get her digits".

Heff's on the DL:

Heff's dealing with some physical issues of late. He missed golf last week so you know it was legit (Heff doesn't miss golf unless there's a real good reason). I don't know all the details but I think it has something to do with him trying to imitate Tony Atlas.

He's got he new dream team looking after him so I'm sure he's on his way to a speedy recovery.

This reminds me of the time Heff got beaned with a softball back '88. If you weren't there, below we have the progression of pictures capturing the event.

Heff was running out a ground ball to short and was sucessful... until... (you can see the ball on the right side of the picture - it looks like a blur because I'm sure it had some zip on it).

Next we can see the ball land squarely on Heff's squash...

And finally the aftermath - this was just prior to him "going to the mat" - the ball is now at the bottom of the picture.

We're all happy to report that Heff stayed in the game and resumed his base running duties after a short break.

Here's hoping his current break is as short and he's back in action soon. Jake looms after all!
