Not too many aches and pains so far, though. I'm relatively healthy. Life is good.

I played my last 3 on 3 tournament a couple years ago when I blew out my ACL. I figured it was time to hang up the competitive bball shoes for good, and that I was never going to be what I once was in college. I'm good with that. I wanted to save my knee (what's left of it) to be able to snow ski with my kids.
