New Years Eve

HEre we are again --- about to kiss 2013 goodbye and  and head into 2014 !

We can often think of the year as a baseball diamond --- broken up into 4 quarters, with the most exciting for many of us being the last quarter --- heck, most of our major holidays are in the last quarter

So the anticipation of getting to home plate as you are halfway down the stretch from 3rd to home is high,  and now , we have figuratively already begun the slide and are stretching for the plate

How did you run this year?  Just limp from bag to bag so you can cross the plate in a gentlemanly fashion after you hit it out of the park, like Barry? 
-- or are you sliding in face first, kicking up a contrail of dust as you go, with the 3rd baseman breathing down your neck?  

        

                                         Look how happy BArry is -- he had a GREAT year !

Rose is more like a mad bull

 

 

 

 

 

 If you hit it out of the park this year,  - congratulate yourself on a fine one  --- but if you hit it off the back wall and it was still in play, - I'm hoping you were able to show a bit of hustle,  make the bases - and destroy the catcher as you hit the plate

Make him wish he didn't even suit up that day, because you're letting him know the year is over , and the next one coming up may still be a struggle , but you're going to hit it just as hard


Stay safe tonight folks, -- don't drink too much,   -- and get ready to attack a new year all over again like this guy  -----  Only difference is its not frowned upon to bet on yourself
