This week we are talking about Too Old?

The New York Times had an article about a 73 year old college basketball player – Ken Mink. Ken had played college at the regular college age but was expelled from school before he finished. That always bothered him. So after retiring and still enjoying basketball, he wrote to 8 small colleges in his neighborhood. One accepted him – Roane State Community College. So now he is one of their basketball guards.

He has a goal of scoring in the double digits, not in a game but for the season. Being 6 foot tall and with a good shooting arm, he can make the shots. His usual tactic seems to be to get fouled and make the free throws.

The opposition is not sure what to do but there have been threats that if he scores on you, the team will never let you forget it. Being beat by a 73 year old can be a problem for a twenty year old.

Ken's wife is philosophical about the whole thing. She also has a sense of humor. At one game she dressed as a retro cheerleader and held up a sign that stated "Ken Can, He's Our Medicare Man."

So it may not be too late for you to relive one of your dreams, no matter how old you are.

Thanks for listening.
