Big Leather Couch

Yes, I know he is 19 and should be away in school already if not for going to the local JuCo to play ball - which resulted in him living home for two more years.

And Yes, I know next year he will be away at school and wouldn't be living home.

And Yes, I know after that he would probably be living on his own anyway.

And I told him that and he wrote back telling me...

I was going to put his text message here, but decided against it. I will say that his words made me start crying like a baby and that now, reading them again (I will not be deleting this message ever), makes the tears come again.

I understand our dog Rocky has been moping around too...

I need to stay strong..this is a great opportunity for me and will help everyone to get past our financial situation...stay strong...must stay strong......
Work is getting better and by that I mean I am beginning to actually work. Not like it is taking up my entire day or anything - hence my being able to post this during the day - but I can see we will begin to rock soon.
I got numerous calls yesterday regarding the Cory Lidle story and his dying in a plane crash in Manhattan. First it was just about a plane hitting a building - flashbacks began immediately - then that Cory was on the plane...

My prayers go out to his family, his instructors family (who was also killed), and to all those injured by the crash.

The reports on TV keep referring back to Thurman Munson and his crash...yes, they both wore Yankee uniforms...but the circumstances and their relationship to the fams of NY were so different. Lidle had just come to the team..his time was spent in Philadelphia and Oakland...that does not mean a Yankee fan should mourn less..just that you can't say it has the same impact on Yankee fans.

OK..it is official LOST is the best show on TV bar none...man just when you think you know what might happen they zoom you in a different direction.

I loved last night. Ben telling Jack they have contact with the real world and trying to convince Jack if he cooperates , they will send him home. Ben tells Jack that American's had re-elected Bush...and that the Red Sox had won the World Series and Jack bursts out laughing and says "If you were going to try and convince me you have contact with the outside world, you should have picked a team other then the Red Sox" and Ben turns on the VCR and shows him the last out of the series and Jack goes slack jawed...what a scream!
