Middle Aged Heros

I love stories like this;

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Joe Thornton set up Devin Setoguchi's tying goal in regulation and Patrick Marleau's overtime winner, and the San Jose Sharks celebrated Claude Lemieux's return to the NHL after a 5 1/2-year absence with a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday night.

All eyes at the sold-out Shark Tank were on Lemieux, the 43-year-old forward who won four Stanley Cups and a playoff MVP award during parts of 20 NHL seasons. He left the league after the 2003 playoffs with Dallas, but started a comeback with the Sharks' minor-league affiliate nearly two months ago.
Lemieux used to play for Phoenix, years ago, and I used to go to the games.

I had a bit of a bout with a sinus infection, but I think it's cleared up. I'm feeling pretty good now. I think I might just try and get in game shape again.
