Stupid Randy from The Apple. I was stashing this one for tomorrow, but then Randy went and posted it – which means I have to play my card before Cerrone plays his card.
This is the game I play with all the off the beaten path links and was why I played the Kooz card last night instead of waiting three weeks until the News Dead Zone reappeared like I wanted to.
Whatever it is, I think we need to challenge our young people to finish well and finish a thing with honor. Whether its school work, or a hobby, or sports team or a project, if they can learn to finish well and finish with honor as children, then perhaps they will reap the benefits in their education, their careers, their marriages, and everything else in life that demands commitment and dedication.And if they can’t always finish, at least let them leave a thing with honor. I think of a man named Paul who, looking back on his life, could say; “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.”
Maybe I’m just getting old, but I would have held Jose Reyes in much higher esteem if he had played the full nine on the last day of the season, left it all out on the field, taking the risk and regardless of the outcome, walked away as a finisher, with honor and dignity.
Albert B. Kelly is mayor of Bridgeton.
I agree with you Mr. Mayor.
Instead our last memory of Jose in a Mets uniform is….him not being there.
