The change...man the change! It's amazing what can happen when you own up to your anger, your baggage, your flaws, your ego, your pride, you name it. I almost liken it to being in boot camp, being broken down from what you were and being reshaped into what you were to become as an individual and as a human being. I still feel the emotional nails on the blackboard when I think back.
Those of you who are a Starbucker before starting your day, there's one locale in Irving where MacArthur and the 114 freeway meet. Should you go there, look for a young man named Dagan. In ten years of ingesting latte love, this barista is THE FASTEST I have ever encountered!!! I can be 2 minutes away from work in a line 14 deep, and he'll have me ready to go in ninety seconds! That helps when I have 25 seconds to drive to get to work in that same shopping center...Thanks Dagan! Be sure to tell them Mr Will sent you!
Sixty years young when he left on July 7th. He died after a long battle with Diabetes. I have read so many of the eulogies for Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett. No need to state the obvious.
For the fourth year in a row the great sate of Texas gets to represent in the All-Star game! 2003 it was Hank Blalock at US Cellular with a bomb for a 7-6 win. 2004 Alfonso Soriano takes a 'rocket' for a ride. Last year Mark Teixeira hits his first homer of the year as a righty in Philly. Tonight Michael Young, Mr. Consistency, the ultimate 'team player', on an 0-2 count, lines a two-ruin triple with the American League ONE STRIKE AWAY from their first defeat in the Mid-Summer Classic since 1995! CLUTCH!
Next to Tampa Bay, Texas has the second youngest core group of starers. One key acquisition the Rangers made back in late May was the addition of Jerry Hairston Jr in the outfield. Dusty Baker spoke volumes about this man. Jerry has shown flashes of brilliance with the bat and the glove.
