What do you call it when you were tired yesterday and are tired again today? Retired.

For too many days, weeks, months and even years, I have known that feeling of “retirement,” and now it’s time for me to make it official.

I really enjoyed writing the story about Baker’s offensive line that appears in this week’s News Bulletin.
Strictly focusing on the offensive line during last Thursday’s practice, my mind was flooded with memories of my time in the trenches at Gulf Breeze. There is so much to being an offensive lineman that most people don’t understand.
