365 people made me a baseball psychic
I have accepted a challenge of making a list of 365 people who have in some way touched my life. Next I am to write a little blurb about them with a small hitch. I must write using the exact amount of words that equal my age for each person. In my case 41. At first I thought this would be impossible. My next thought was it would be a breeze. Now I go back and forth between the impossibilities and the opportunities

It’s all fun and games until somebody gets sick. Then it’s a nickname that torments you into eternity. The embarrassment of earning that title didn’t keep her from being liked by everyone. It took much effort to remember her real name.
129. Rahual MY Cabana Boy
Anyone can call him Rahual. Only one can call him cabana-boy. Energy and alcohol flow from his fingertips like lightening as he launches conversations about final-scores, batting-averages and the middle east. Happily married with children and two jobs. Oh the American-Dream.

128. Porter
A true gentlemen. He liked dining alone. I believe he would pretend his beloved-wife was once again sitting across from him. Longing to be with her again and now he is. I am left tearing up straining manhattans into chilled glasses.
127. Ferme
Leaving family and country to create a better life. 4years away from wife and children can cause loneliness. Believing hard-work erases any indiscretions human desires lead to. Does absence make the heart grow fonder? Or is it outta sight, outta mind?
