Thats for sure, he's "only" 52 now. Sure he has to find (or already did) a new job, but what will it be?

Post by: geise on May 30, 2011, 12:09:22 PM: I really want to know what he's up to next. I guess I'll just have to keep checking his blog that Tats posted. There is an awesome clip of him on youtube singing in front of people. All the while TV's are playing Hudson games haha.
