I Want I Want...I Need, I Need

-
Woke up this morning a little disappointed and a tad perplexed...

First off, I'm perplexed by the stuff in Chase Utley's hair. It makes me think of what happened to the Cameron Diaz character in Something About Mary. Could it be?

And disappointed because the Yanks didn't close it out last night. If Jeter would've got the big hit last night they may have bronzed him right there, but he didn't, which brings me to the lesson learned.

The game was something that I had no control over. I will have just as much control over tomorrow's game. Yet I couldn't help but fret the outcome. There are so many things like that in life.

And if someone would've explained that the Yanks would've took two of three in Philly - I would've taken it in a heartbeat. Yet after winning the first two - I wanted more.

Again, a life's lesson - no matter how good it is - we want more - greed gets in the way and despite the fact that two in Philly was enough - I'm disappointed it wasn't three.

The "I want, I need," aspect of life isn't for me anymore. I hate chasing things around - things I can't control - and things that would be good enough if I didn't desire something more.

Yet it's human nature, isn't it? Especially in the materialistic world we live in.

That being said - there are still two things I want desperately:

Of course...one more win...

And...

Please tell me what that is in Utley's hair?

Steroid cream perhaps?

Bring me my Jameson's Gag.

I believe it is a gel or mousse. For those with hair they sometimes use it to style it. Though in his case he prefers the slicked back look to hit those big bombs!!! Warm up the car. The Jameson is making a trip to SJ.

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
