> > > > I bet he just tells you that 'cause he feels that he needs an excuse for being a grouch all the time. No one would be foolish enough to let his mood be determined by the sucess of the Chicago Cubs... That's like betting your life savings on the Brewers, for example. Provided, of course, that they're not playing the Cubs. ;-P

> > > Yup, you're probably right. Although he is originally from Chicago, so he has some right to claim that. He's just a big poop anyway. He killed us with a horrible exam last week. Toughest exam I've ever taken. I don't claim to be good at memorization, but I thought I had most of the stuff down cold. I was wrong. OR at least his test thought so.

He was always a hoot... my friend Fred had locker #666. It wouldn't open. We figured that's because this teacher lived in there, and held the door shut...

I don't know as he cared much for baseball... he loved to play the market, that much I remember. I believe when he retired he had in the neighborhood of forty-seven jillion dollars that he made trading stocks and such... his house (for when he wasn't living in the locker) was this big, palatial affair. It was a literal mansion. And this guy taught at a public high school!
