" A DAY IN A LIFE"

THE THUNDERBYRDS...MANY MOONS AGO..BEST GUYS TO PLAY SOFT BALL ( AND MUSIC ) WITH ON THIS OR ANY OTHER PLANET
ok something is bothering me about this ordeal i am going through...you see up until 7 weeks ago and if my memory serves me well i only had to call in sick one time while working for Yaleet...thats one time in 13 years... (other than other family illness) ....now tack that on to when i owned my own business for 10..( and there is no getting sick in retail) because the show must go on..that a pretty good record no? ....well he's the reason i had to call in sick...playing left field the night before.. ( not for the t-byrds this particular nite) had to be around 7 years ago...runners on 1st and 2nd and there was a line drive hit over my head ..i backed up reached up and came down on the back of my head....hung onto the ball..i remember tossing it in cause the runners were tagging....well the next thing i know its the top of the 6th....and a line drive is hit to me and it hits my glove and falls in front....no damage next play fly to me inning over..however i am running thinking it's still the 1st inning...someone mentioned the score..5-2 i said can't be its 2-1 they only scored one....someone mentioned its the 6th inning...i said..sure it is.....let me see the book...sure enough i popped out to third in the 3rd inning..don't remember even getting up... right to the hospital...
let's do the math...popped out to third (never done that all year)...error in the 6th (known for my glove too)...teamates not knowing i had a concussion...priceless.....moral i guess is if you see a friend doing something he don't usually do....asked if all is ok....ya never know.........oh i asked the doc if i could work the next day...he said....just relax...told him about my record up until then..he said records are meant to be broken stay home( yeah tell that to dimagio and ripkin) those are two that will never fall ...but now i have to call in sick way to many time..i quess it's balancing out.......

tommy "feeling like i still have that concussion cheffo"

p.s last thing on john lennon...i noticed one of caseys draws would not close all the way ...so i removed it and looked in the back to see what was blocking it...ready for this..it was a full page of a john lennon stamp collection in plastic..i have not seen in years....it chose the night of the 25-anniversay to find me...the very night........ here are the stamps............................................................
