Steroid Shock
With today's revelation that Ryan Braun tested positive for a banned substance, I must confess to my own steroid issue.

I was recovering fast enough to be listed as "probable" for this past Shabbat but now am subject to a four Shabbat suspension by the NFL and 50 games by MLB. On the plus side, my prayers are now going 30 percent farther.
