Growing up in the 80s an Indians fan meant bellowing “Juuuullliooooo” every time the now ageless wonder appeared at the plate in old Municipal Stadium.

USAToday.com’s Mike Lopresti has a blast enumerating the many ways in which Julio Franco, 47, is OLD:

As of Monday, 60 players on active major league rosters had not been born the day Franco played in his first game for Philadelphia in 1982.

Franco works hard, eats right, smiles a lot, goes to bed early. So he’s had time to land in more places than a FedEx plane. Philadelphia, Cleveland (twice), Texas, the Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee, Tampa Bay, Atlanta and the Mets. Also Japan, Korea and Mexico.

The one with the anemia and bone marrow disease?

Another bout of low PCV (9%) for our domestic short-hair, Doppler.

This is the second time in three months that her red blood cell number has been this low.

Unbelievably, it was 35% in mid-December after a transfusion and prednisone.

So, after another trip to Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital, yet another gigantic credit card bill and still more time reading about feline anemia on Yahoo.

So, before you have to ask yourself: How much is my pet worth?, you should check out pet insurance.

For $150/year VPI Pet Insurance should help cover 50% of any medical bills that our dog, Dougal, incurs if he falls ill.

OK. Time to get serious. About something.

More to come on post-modernism, future economy and creating news that people want.
