    Most iconic baseball cards

    I've collected my entire life. There are plenty of odd cards out there, far too many to list, and a bunch of stuff done on purpose and by accident. Bob Eucker batted left for his '66 Topps card even though he was a right-handed batter. Billy Martin's '72 (or maybe '73) manager card shows him...

    What Was Your best Vacation?

    We've been to Hawaii and a bunch of the Caribbean Islands, but tops was probably Lake Tahoe. A week hiking the surrounding mountains, visiting historic Viriginia City, fishing the lake and enjoying the scenery.

    Massage therapy

    My wife is a massage therapist (and nurse) so I get frequent massages. I think massage is almost always beneficial, however deep-tissue massage is not for everyone. I'd try to find someone who has experience doing massage for people with your condition.

    Planning to retire in 4 years
