At various times during my six-book (soon to be seven) comedy/sci-fi series featuring cosmic bike rider Jack Miller (my alter ego), I have him stating my own personal mantra. Neither of us intend to depart this plane of existence until the San Diego Padres have won a World Series.
Now, considering the fact that I’ve been writing these books, on and off, for three decades, and the Padres have yet to accomplish this, I’m getting a wee bit concerned. After all, Jack and I have grown longer in tooth, and at some point, the Mother Ship will inevitably show up to take us home.
Still, there is hope. As we “speak,” the Padres are playing in the postseason, and they are arguably the hottest team in baseball. Will this finally be the year? Oh, I hope so. LFGSD!!!
