More Candles

15 years ago about this time. in a town fit for no one to live, I met a wee slip of a lad. He had loads of attitude, a grand laugh. and far too much cynicism for someone that young. He proved to be a saviour and a signpost. Today he remains a wee slip of a lad, loaded with, attitude, a grand laugh, but strangely, less cynicism than he had as a young man. He's still, however, a saviour and a signpost.
Happy 38th, Scooter. You're still just a boy.

He's not 38, he's 43. He lied about his age to sign that minor league contract when he was a kid down in the Dominican Republic. All glove no hit made Scooter a very poor boy.

no more questions,
