Thats the bottom line. A few years ago he was one of the best grass riders around. I don't even want to read the article, the guy has messed up so many times its almost inexcusable. Its like being followed by a demon, i've been down a simuliar path in my younger days. The wrong people, the wrong free time activities, people like us are not famous so its even easier to fly under the radar. But your stress in life is no excuse, life was never meant to be easy, as you get older you realize that the "yellow brick road" is fantasy whether you are dirt poor, unemployed or filthy rich and famous. Your health, if its good, is all you really have. I personally know the woman he squabbled with at Saratoga....shes a housewife that does traffic and security for 8 weeks a year, 5 foot nothing and weighs maybe 110. The cops made him park his car and hauled him off....in front of everyone.....there comes a time when you have to stop LYING to YOURSELF.....you are already an expert at lying to everyone else. He doesn't need some fluff article, he needs to admit to HIMSELF that he needs professional help. The most brilliant and talented people are many times their own worst enemies. Just watched the movie
Flight, great movie, it lays out the trap that anyone one of us could fall into in this society...and pretty much sums up his problems.
