Re: OOC #2
before i got in the post offcie, i was laid off at the factory i worked at..it was great 70% of the people who worked there , were from Windber , and we had sports teams ( fast pitch softyball..Gollf.. and we played football at lunch time)
I was laid off, almost a year, i was called back a few hours ahead of the dfead line, I still thing the supervisor who i can coached with made sure i 'beat the deadline" or i would have had to start all over.
anyway? that year I tried out for the Pittsburgh Maulers...( USFL).. had i made the team i would have been able to play the whole season and not miss any work time.... i was one of 180+ WRs...(1800 people all togther).. i was made it to being one of the last 7 WRs.... sad thing, they didn't cut QBs..were other guys got cut after each drill.
some fat guy, looked like a truck driver threw a terrible pass tha was goignto hit the ground and i dove for it.. it skidded out as i hit the turf and they told me 'i could got get my shirt and certificate..::sigh::.. I tried to ghet them to let me run rountes for the Black QBs, who , for some reason, had thier own lines..but?.. the HC had my number down..never got to play
anyway..the whole thign about that, is while i was laid off?..i had more stuff to do then when i was working, ,sicne my Late wife was working..i was Mr Mom!
