I would like to thank John for his kind words about me the grocery checker from Safeway West Linn. I am 68 years and 5 months. I love my job and customers very much. I think it important to state something I rarely share but in this case it is important to the background on all of this. I have been in recovery for nearly 35 years. My tag line at work is happy happy, happy happy. How else can you live your life (really). To the people of West Linn it has been a lifetime with you folks (24) years. I am not in a hurry to get to the other side. I will be fine on the other side (in case you wondered).

I find that my excitement for college football is basically gone. As an 65 year OSU fan I am still very bitter about everything! Being thrown in an MWC ash heap is and will always be as tragic as one can imagine! I have absolutely no respect for anything associated with the Ducks. I remember watching the arrogance of the Oregon leadership as they testified before the legislative committee. They couldn’t have care less. I completely reject their notion that presently they don’t get much state support. Everyone seems to forget the decades they depended on the state’s taxpayers.

I am rooting for the Beavers to come out of this in a respectable place, which is not the MWC.

People say get over it, that is not possible.
