Simply not true. I was never comfortable as an agent and don't expect I ever would be. Working for Tyler was such a different experience I tried it for a while longer but at the end of the day I chose to follow my heart both literally and figuratively. All I can tell you is that my reasons for leaving and exploring mew avenues were EXACTLY what I said they were. If you choose to not believe that. There's nothing I can do.
Health and happiness are extremely important.. All the money in the world cant buy you either. I have had quite the difficult year and no money I have or dont have could change it.

You did seem to love being an agent and while I cant point to any specific post I do remember you being thrilled to be finding such good fortune.

Please keep in mind IF you had both books still you would not have had to deal with the last 6 months(or however long its been).

I try not to fool myself..I try and realize when I am just BS'ing myself to make all that went wrong right..

I am thinking that you could still be healthy and happy if you were succeeding with two of the best jocks in the country earning for the team.. I dont know but if I had to guess it didnt suck.

I only had them both together for a very short time. You're right the money didn't suck. But in my case it wasn't worth losing time with my wife and step-daughter. Remember, agenting was my second job. It became more than full time just on it's own and that was too much. Too STAY with it would have been BS'sing myself. I don't understand why that's so hard to understand?

Remember I can do the math..Calling races something, I have always thought you do great, was coming to an end at HP and will eventually. I also have a clue that having Joel, who you told us all you loved working for and with , was paying real good.

glad you are so in love and happy with the ole lady and step daughter.

Freddy!! You're killin me. I sure hope you meant "Ole" as in part of a dance. Mrs. Staufficus reads this. I'll be spending more time at home this winter. Would prefer it not be in the DOGHOUSE.

how odd that someone would start posting for the first time since july only to attack someone. no doubt it's exactly why steve started this forum, so someone could have a public place to attack someone anonymously. i wonder sometimes why people in the public eye decide to post here-they all seem to draw a group that is here solely to needle them. you see it with andy, chuck, doug, and now vic just to mention a few. hell, our host even has his moments.

I was wondering exactly that. End of the day though. Our love for our game, troubles notwithstanding, will always be more important than the haters. And so we move forward.
