<p>My i9th century self would have checked out 16 years ago, but I have enjoyed being part of the "living dead" at Antietam for the past several years. My brother, who acquired juvenile diabetes at age 15 and is now in his mid-fifties, recently had an experimental procedure where the part of the pancreas that produces insulin was transplanted into his liver and he is now, for the first time in 42 years, no longer insulin-dependent. Who knows what is around the corner. </p>

<p>So I suppose, to be truly authentic, Dan'l, Jim, Strum, and I should not show up at Antietam!</p>
<p>I'd ask for a moment of silence there but at our early age of demise, you folks wouldn't have known us.</p>
<p>Dan'l, I doubt "motorcycle stupidness" existed in 1850, but there must be a 19th C equivalent.</p>

<p>I would have died at 6 months, of pneumonia. As it was, I almost did- my parents were told by the doctors to start making 'arrangements' and prepare themselves. =8-o</p>

<p>Rob raises an interesting thought. This coming season, at 63, I have become the oldest player on my vintage base ball club but I still run fairly well and usually lead my teammates in runs scored. I've often thought what I'd be like if I lived in the 19th C. Numerous painful ailments would have gone unrepaired which would have given my face an even more sour look that it already has. Several fingers would be crooked and, in particular, I had a torn meniscus that flipped upside-down…</p>
<p>Rob raises an interesting thought. This coming season, at 63, I have become the oldest player on my vintage base ball club but I still run fairly well and usually lead my teammates in runs scored. I've often thought what I'd be like if I lived in the 19th C. Numerous painful ailments would have gone unrepaired which would have given my face an even more sour look that it already has. Several fingers would be crooked and, in particular, I had a torn meniscus that flipped upside-down causing me to be unable to straighten my right knee. If I were living in the 19th C, without modern medical advancements, I'd be a sour-looking, hobbling old man!!! I wonder if some of you might find it interested to envision your 19th C self(?)</p>
