A Big THANK YOU! And a Short Note to Chronsters.


The last year has been one of, if not the, toughest 12 month periods of my life. In one month, Dec 21, 2017 to Jan 21, 2018 I lost my teaching career, my wife, my family, and ended by spending three days in jail for a felony I was never truly charged with. And I never committed in the first place. The last six months has consisted of rebuilding my relationship with my son (going great), finding a new job (done), fighting to keep my house (ongoing), and trying to finalize my divorce. Said divorce will drain my retirement and possibly end with me losing my house.

Through it all I've had three things that have kept me going and laughing: Family, Friends, and you Chronsters. I have thanked the first two many times, now it is your turn. Thank you.

Thank you Mike for putting this thing together and for generally keeping it rolling. It's a great platform for fans to come together and talk about our favorite teams, sports and players. I really enjoy your articles and posts. It's nice to be able to keep up with what's happening back home.

Thank you for the daily distraction that was just enough to clear my head of negative thoughts and get me going CardinalStrong. Your countdown is always a summer treat-like ice cream without the calories. I like going into each season feeling like I already know all the players on the team a little. And it's especially nice for those of us who live so fr away it hard to get news about the team in general.

And thank you to everyone else on this site who posts insight, knowledge, opinion, jokes and ridiculousness in the comments section. Whether it's concrete or cement, 420, real or imagined feuds or stupid comments by birdwatchr. The silly videos. The incredible highlights. The complete games. The memories. All have helped me make it through the last year. I really appreciate you all, even though I don't know and will probably never meet any of you, you have all done a little to help me climb back onto my feet and keep on trekking.

Do I have regrets? Am I in a better place?

Yes and Yes.

Yeah?

Dick.
