For about 18 summers, I painted houses to supplement my then-inadequate income. I now have varicose veins, and my shoulders, elbows, and knees are not in the best of shape. If I try to throw overhand, the shoulder pain is intense. Sidearm is okay, and I just tell myself that I’ve become a right-handed Randy Johnson.
Perhaps there is honor in manual labor, but it took its toll on this body.
