one of my quick late night postings at less than full mental capacity.
Anyway, all y'all on here know about my battle with alcoholism (17 months sober on the 17th). Also most of you know I've continued to work at the poolhall through this time... and now have began to bartend (which FYI, I shoulda done long ago, some killer money in it!) But the other night the manager asked my if I thought I was Sam Malone now or what. That got me thinking...
1)I'm a former baseball player who reached a fair level of sucess, but never quite lived up to the full potential-- eventually leaving the game behind (but not afraid to re-live some of the old glory days among friends.
2)Learned that the cause and solution to all of life's problems could be found in the bottle.
3)Later learned that I was wrong about the "solutions" part in number 2, and finally gave it up.
4) Deeman will back me up, I'm a total Cassanova with the ladies (at least he'll back me up if he ever wants a table at bumpers again /ccboard/images/graemlins/smile.gif )
5) I have, at times, been considered a man-whore (pardon the language)
6) I can sometimes be a little too worried about my hair
7) I'm now a bartender after all that
the only parts missing would be that I never owned the bar, and I don't have to wear a rug. I do already have a Carla, Norm and Cliff, seeking a Woody/Coach... and hoping to trade in a Diane for a Rebecca.
Just some late night ramblings...

*edited to also add that I have started a fire at the bar as well, but it was just the trash can so it wasn't as emotional of a night as the Cheers episode
