[Rain Man]

Ah, December of 1989. 1989 was a rough year for me on a number of fronts, probably one of the two toughest years of my life. Toward the end of the year I practiced the time-honored art of fleeing my problems and went to India. I wandered around India and Nepal for a few weeks, saw some amazing things, and tried to find newspapers to give me the results of the Chiefs games and Christian Okoye's running exploits. I got back sometime in mid-December and saw him lead the league in rushing, and I had a good feeling about that rookie linebacker. The Chiefs finished above .500, which was not common in those days, and life started looking up again.
