My second post on the Yahoo Message Board in 2001 was [ aptly ] entitled "Nobody Loves You When You're Down and Out." Ripped the title from one John Lennon, but the song described what my company was going through at the time. There was a lot of bickering and derisiveness going on; the stock was plummetting; and the rats were jumping ship. It was fucked up.
I have found myself in the same boat....unfortunately.
But the Braves are playing the Phillies tonight. And with the addition of "Tex" at first base, all is right with the world....for a minute. And how about that catch Willie Harris made on Carlos del Gado's potential game tying home run in the ninth inning yesterday.
Seems Willie hails from Cairo, Ga. Anybody else famous from that town? Well, let's see. Does Jackie Robinson ring a bell?
Life is a bowl of cherries, v.c.
P.S. Nobody loves you when you're down and out. I remember John saying he thought the tune would be a good one for Frank Sinatra.

Hey Cat,
went and saw the Rangers play the Devil Rays. Still waiting for Saltemachcia to tag a couple. The Rangers remind me of the early 80's Braves. How's the job hunt, I'm guessing like a snipe hunt. Take care, hope you find something. Rock on Luby's

Hey Rock, We gave up the farm to get Tex. 5 players for one. Seems Tex turned down an offer of 18 million per year for 6 years from the Rangers. Figure that one out. Salty was withering on the vine here. There's high expectations that he will one day be the man. It's bee about 40 years or more since I went snipe hunting. Good eating if yer lucky to catch one.
As far as a job goes, the word "nada" comes to mind.
Rock steady as Bad Company used to say.
