HomerS Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 When you're a kid, it was exciting to get your favorite players autograph at a sporting event. I'm not sure which is worse now......seeing players knowing you're old enough to be their father OR taking you're kids to the autograph session knowing you watched that player's father play the sport and you have HIS autograph!

TonyK Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I recently got a race drivers autograph and told him I was a big fan of his Dad when he raced. He said "oh yeah, that's cool" but I sometimes wonder if that's a nice thing to say or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you first told him that you were big fan of him, and only after that you mentioned being a fan of his dad, I think that would have been ok.

Miatatom Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I was 24 when it came out. I'm older than dirt! But, at least I'm still plugging along. Try to enjoy every day in some small way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Warren Zevon had been handed his death sentence, he made his last (I think) public appearance on Letterman. Dave asked him, "What have you learned--what do you know that the rest of us need to know?" And Zevon replied, "Just...enjoy every sandwich." The saying became famous (at least among Zevon fans), and would have been a great title for a Warren Zevon song, but of course he never got to write it. But it did become the title of the posthumous tribute album put out by a bunch of his friends, and I can tell you that is a GREAT album.
