Unbelievable!! Simply amazing!! What has been an EKG of a season for the Houston Astros comes down to four wins...and Texas' first World Series trophy. Still hard to believe that this team was 15 games under .500 at one point. Although I'd love to see them bring it on home, as a betting man, I'd have to go with the Pale Hose.
The Chicago White Sox too battled adversity down the stretch as their 15 game lead dwindled to 2 before winning 8 of 10 to clinch the AL Central.(Too many numbers?) Anyways...seeing how they disposed of the Red Sox and Angels, they certainly are the favorite to win it.
However, this series is going to come down to one thing: heart. Whoever has the heart and drive to not give up 'til it's won will come home winners. Remember last year on The Apprentice? The Donald pitted 9 college graduates vs. 9 high school graduates and shocked everyone when he announced that the college grads made only a third of what the high school graduates did. A third! Kinda makes not going to college appealing. Of course, in reality, having the college education makes you a more complete person and more attractive to big businesses. I expect both of my kids to graduate from either UTA or another college so that they will be prepared for the "real world". And I don't mean that silly show on MTV either. I plan on fully taking care of the financial side of it so they won't have to work two and three jobs just to attend school. I want their minds focused on one thing, not 5 or 6 things. Get that degree. I don't care if they major in philosophy or quantam physics or basketweaving. With a college degree, the world is theirs. Without one, you are at the mercy of what other people think they should pay you for what they want you to do. Millions of people life that life...some are happy, others want more.
As a father, I really only want three things for our kids:
1) Go to college (and gradute!)
2) Stay out of prison and/or jail
3) Don't be involved in a pregnancy until they're married
Is this asking too much?
