I ended up skipping my potential Labor Day Frisco outing due to a sore foot. Not sure what happened, it was fine by the evening, but still, not being able to put much weight on it without major pain made me not want to chance it. I still have one more Rangers outing later this month. Hoping for a good Alumni signer at least.

I've started mailing out a lot more soccer and baseball over the last few weeks-- and I need to update the soccer blog as well.

Since returning from vacation in July, I've mailed a bunch. Still waiting on...

JULY 26: Pat Leahy
AUGUST 16: Andruw Jones, Adrian Beltre, Alex Rodriguez, Clayton Kershaw
AUGUST 22: Mo Vaughn
AUGUST 23: Gene Hiser
AUGUST 24: Lance Johnson

SEPTEMBER 19: Theo Kulsdom, Ted Krafft, Steve Eise, Thomas Strunk, John O'Hara, Sean Phillips, Mike Fox, Branko Segota, Chris Kenny, Leon Hooten, Turk Wendell, Buzz Capra

I also had a failed attempt on Mike Fox. It turns out the owner of M&M Paper is NOT the Mike Fox who played pro soccer. Attempt #2 (to Colorado instead of California) went in the mail this morning.
