Life is about decisions and the consequences of making them...and Willie Parker broke his leg immediately after I picked him up and placed him in my lineup so I paid the price of losing 20 + points that week...exactly what I deserved!

working in the psych field , you should know better then anyone that people can have a nervous breakdown or just lose it. some people can seem at one point in thier life to have it together and say those same words and later something may change. i know that i say i wouldnt either .but i would be foolish to realisticly think someday something could go seriously wrong ,but what do our futures hold for us or for others. why do we always question and say -i never thought they would do that-or they seemed happy. the brain is one of the last undiscovered frontiers in med, and doesnt get the funding it deserves, we know very little about it . my point being never say never. you just don't know........i'm sure some of the young men before they left for iraq didn't plan on co,ming home and commiting suicide either. and its a alarming amount-as one example
