Coach Tuesday Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 My Great Uncle is very old, he's in his 90s and he's lived a full, active and successful life. He owns my favorite house in the world - a beautiful mansion south of Buffalo. There are only about 30 of its kind. It was once one of the very best of its kind, but recently it has fallen into disrepair. My family and I visit the house every fall weekend, but the last few years' visits have not been nearly as enjoyable given the condition of the place. Nothing would make me happier than to see the house restored to its glory. I know that with the proper caretaker, it could be done. The problem is my Great Uncle - he won't ever hire the proper caretaker. He doesn't want to spend the money for the best caretakers, and even if he did, they wouldn't want to put up with his meddlesome ways. And so the house continues to languish, and my family cannot enjoy it any longer. And because of this, I have bad thoughts. Not all the time, just some times. But more often lately. Those thoughts are these: I sometimes wish my Great Uncle would pass over into the next life already, so that we could celebrate his memory by restoring the house to its prior glory. Am I a bad person? I guess so. What do you think? I'm torn. I love my Great Uncle, but I also love the house, and I want my children to be able to enjoy the house like I did when I was a youth.

macaroni Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I love my Great Uncle, but I also love the house, and I want my children to be able to enjoy the house like I did when I was a youth. If you really want your children to enjoy that house you'd better hope your uncle lives forever because shortly after he dies, the residents of the house will move to greener pastures and the house will be demolished. Your uncle stays in his house because he feels he made a promise to his neighbors and just HATES it when a long time resident move away, but he's just an old dottering man ...

That's a lousy metaphor. Maintaining a house is easy. You just pour in money. It's not as if there are a dizzying variety of guys you could hire and 80% of them can't do the job and you don't know which ones till you hire them. Hiring a coach and a GM is a guessing game. Look at Danny Snyder. He's poured tons of money into his team but simply hasn't found the right guys to run it. GM and coach are crapshoots, and even a good coach won't be able to do squat without a good QB, and QBs are crapshoots too. So, yeah, IMHO, hoping your uncles passes into the next life is genuinely wrong, IMHO, especially as the next guy who buys your house is fairly likely to move it to L.A. Try visiting every weekend when it's in Cali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
