Are prodigals still welcome?
I'm slightly tipsy on champagne at the moment, in my hotel in the Gaslamp celebrating the end of the three-day torture known as the California Bar Exam - the longest bar exam in the country (with, so I've been told, the highest fail rate in the country). The good news . . . I've taken the darn thing. The bad news . . . well, ask me at the end of November when they publish the pass list.
In the mean time, I'm coming out of my cave, looking around, seeing my shadow, and seriously considering going back inside my cave until next year. I managed to make it to the game on Tuesday, which, between Bar-induced hallucinations and that heart-stopping almost-homerun that looked like a gimme from where I was sitting, was another form of torture all together. Now I'm thinking, after last night, that I should never set foot in SD again. Baseball must be an addiction, because otherwise I can't imagine why I would still love something that hurts me so good.
The point of this . . . I warned you I've been drinking champagne, right? . . . the point is that I'm returning to baseball after a long, painful hiatus. I've missed you guys. And to be honest, every time I've been able to check in with the baseball world, I've needed you guys. Will you take me back?
It's hard to make it through the unluckiest season in my *entire* life (for what it's worth) all alone. . . .
Side note: Drama, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you . . . I'm strictly on my Blackberry at the moment, and it doesn't hold onto old emails very long. . . .

You think you can just march back in here...
...of course!!!
And is Drama harassing you? I can take care of him if he’s becoming a “problem.” Wouldn’t be the first time.
Glad you’re back. And thinking good thoughts for November.

Prodigals are the most welcome
Especially typsy ones.
I don't have to always be right. I just have to always think I'm right.

Everybody makes me feel welcome
those rare bursts I manage to show up – and I love that. GLB is my home away from homelessness.
...and don’t worry about the champagne. These guys somehow put up with all of my ludicrous assertations I type in a Dos Equis-induced blackout…

I don't envy how you're gonna feel in the morning
Those champagne bubbles can be quite toxic

nah . . . I can handle my bubbly
It takes more than just one bottle to give me a hangover.

There may have been some rumors about me and Tracey Gold
and maybe your name was mentioned…
