Subject: It was always about the bets 79

Out side there was a car waiting and I shook my head and said Tim this is
not my image. He said sorry kid it's too short of a ride for helicopter. We
got to the capital Grill and inside Tim said reservations for Mike Simmons
and the hostess said is that Junior or Senior. Brian answered senior and we
were shown a table and I figured what the fuck and ordered Glenlivet on the
rocks and Tim said please make that two. There was a conversation and I am
sure money was exchanged and two drinks were delivered to Tim. After the
waiter left Tim slid the drink over to me and said asshole, you earned
that. Just then dad came over looked at Tim and said damn, I have a better
table than you and laughed and walked away. Tim said shit, lesson
learned. We ordered steaks and bake potatoes and I ordered iced tea and the
waiter said thank you sir. We had just finished dinner and were drinking
coffee when the Mayor came in, he seemed to make a beeline to me and sat
right down and said what you guys drinking? Tim said scotch, rocks and I
said iced tea, the Mayor ordered something and when the drinks came mine
was scotch. We talked for a while and the Mayor said, I hear Mr. Carr
impressed you at your first board meeting today. I said in a strange and
perverted way he did. So Mr. Mayor what can I do for you? He simply said an
advanced copy of your construction documents 24 hours before they are
released? I looked at Tim and said, please make sure those are hand
delivered to the Mayor, Tim said sure.

When the Mayor left, Tim said Michal James Simmons, why are you bothering
with high school, that must be boring as hell for you. I said Tim there are
friends, the girlfriend, and the easy sex of all kinds and flavors. He
looked at me and said Mike, watch the sex of all flavors, you now have a
reputation to protect. I said Tim, I am totally aware. By the way, you as
of now are the legal council for MJS Enterprises. You comfortable with
that? He said Mike, you do like to blur the lines, it's a good thing you
are ethical because if not you could be building a crime family. I motioned
for the waiter asked for more coffee and the desert menu. While waiting for
coffee and desert I took my jacket off and leaned in and started on what we
needed to do next and the timeline. When we were finished Tim paid the bill
and we went outside and I said shit I have to go home in this as I came to
the office today with dad. Tim was dropped off at the office and I was
driven home. I thanked the driver, apologized for no tip as I had no money
on me and he said Mr. Simmons that's is not an issue, that will be taken
care of when I submit the invoice. I said thanks, went inside grabbed the
cigarette went to my room and collapsed on the bed.

About a half hour later there was a knock on the door and dad came in,
grabbed the cigarettes lit one up handed it to me lit another, cracked the
window and sat down. He said Mike, you were very impressive this afternoon
and the board for the most part was awestruck. Especially how you knew each
one by name and something about them. Shit, son I could not do that
today. They were very impressed in how you reacted to Alex and were amazed
he was not asked out. So Mike, why didn't you throw him out? You have
dismissed people for far less. Dad simply because I could and was not going
to his level and he won't resign. It's game on and by Easter he will be
history. Mike, I hate to do this but I have another favor..... Dad, ask
Sally to meet me at The Tavern some day after school, say 4:30 so I can
work out. Have her pick the day and if the time doesn't work have it be
anytime later. I said dad, now I have a favor? He said Mike, what do you
need? I said dad Bill wants another visit this weekend and I need out of
that.

Mike, there will be no visit as the rehab people feel that Bill is too
dependent on you and will play any game he can think of to get you for a
visit. So Sunday when he is expecting you he gets me. Mike, I'm running out
of patients with him. I took two cigarettes out of the pack, tossed it to
dad and said, I need to call Carrie. Dad said good night and went to his
room. I called Carrie and we talked for two hours about her day, school and
then my day and dinner after the meeting and the mayor. She asked about how
I would settle back into school and I said babe I don't know, but I'll see
you tomorrow in English. I said, I love you and hung up.

I was up at the usual time went for the morning run and had a light
breakfast and went to school. It was a very normal day and I was settling
back into the routine and at lunch I checked my phone and there were 9
voice mails. I returned the call from dad and he said Mike, if you can
possibly do it please meet sally today at 5:00 at The Tavern. I said sure
and hung up and called Tim. He said Mike the construction loan was approved
with the land as the down payment and the lease, no problems. Also two
weeks early the bid documents are ready and a copy was sent to the Mayor. I
thanked him and tried to eat. The rest of the afternoon went well except I
got a 75 on my Spanish pop quiz. Then it was to the field house to workout
and Sam was there and I watched him and he was doing really well so I asked
him to increase the Reps and keep at it. I finished working out showered
and got to the Tavern a little before 5:00 and Sally was there. The owner
came over and I said iced tea and asked Sally if she needed another drink
and she smiled and said not yet.

When my drink came it was beer and she said Mike, how does that happen and
I said Sally it just does. We talked about nothing at all until I said
Sally, how do we fix this? She said Mike I can't figure out who you
are. You are a caring son, yet tell him off in a minute, you have this
perfect image yet drink, smoke and fuck. You bend and or break every rule
around you yet wear a halo. You are a great student and a elite
athlete. Just who the fuck are you? I said Sally, your vocabulary is better
than that and since I'm not using that type of language I would appreciate
it if you didn't use it either. She said, oh and there is that your need to
have the last fucking word. I took a deep breath and said Sally, I'm all
that - that's who I am. I'm only having sex with Carrie and I will never
lie to you. Does that help? Mike, do you lie to your dad, I thought for a
minute and said Sally, I did once and it was about having sex with Carrie,
after that he grew to accept that and we moved on.

She thought for a minute and asked, what's your issue with me? Well Sally,
it is strange you are good for dad and I'm glad not to be the sole focus of
his attention, basically I don't trust you. I'm sorry if that came
through. We talked for a while and another round of drinks arrived and mine
was iced tea. I simply said Sally there is a limit and she laughed. We were
quiet for a while and I said so Sally can you please let me be Mike and
I'll let you be Sally. Trying not to be mean or hurtful and every time it
starts to get to the point that dad might get hurt, we simply have a talk
like this. She looked at me and said sure. We talked for a while and I
ordered another round of drinks and mine was beer and she looked at me and
said dude you are the ultimate puppet master and adults are your puppets. I
laughed and said correct, but I am aware that I have no strings attached to
you and I am fucking good with that and we both laughed.

At home I went straight to my room called Rob and asked if he could get his
ass over here and help me with the Spanish. He said if you help me with the
fucking math. I said it's a study date and he said he would be over at 8:00
and we hung up. I was starving and a little buzzed and went downstairs and
found no dinner and settled on a sandwich, chips and iced tea. I was eating
and reading an English assignment and dad came in asking about the meeting
and I said ask the wife. I'm so far behind in school, Rob is on his way
over to help me with Spanish. Dad just went to the office and closed the
door. I grabbed a coat and the cigarettes and a beer and went outside,
thinking I need a heater and just sat there. Dad came out and said Mike,
get you ass inside Rob is here. Inside I got two beers and said let's study
in the kitchen. We started on math and an hour later he was doing well,
then Spanish and I'll never get it and he said Mike, we have to spend a day
together with us only speaking Spanish and you learning to think in
Spanish. Right now you hear and actually understand the Spanish, translate
it to English then formulate it in Spanish and finally spit it out in
Spanish. You are better than you think you are. Finally, he said Mike,
thanks for the math help, your Spanish is better that you think just relax,
I'll see you in class tomorrow. I went upstairs and called Carrie and said
babe we need to spend some time alone together. She said damn I thought I
would never hear you say that again. We talked for a while and she said
Mike, I love you and hung up.

It was a typical day at school and Sam and Jim were at the field house for
the workout and I was glad to see Sam enjoying himself. I was driving home
and thought shit, I did not have a Christmas gift for anyone. I drove to
the mall, looking around I was struggling on what to get Carrie but I
bought Jim and Rob and I matching running suits. Damn there was dad and
Sally and I needed a wedding gift as well. I was determined to get Carrie's
gift but it had to be something a 17 year old would buy his girlfriend and
damn I was having a hard time getting into that mindset. Then I got an idea
and I went to the jewelry shop and asked for a very nice bracelet that I
could add charms to. I selected a computer charm, a charm of a couple
hugging, a briefcase, a football a V and a T and asked if they could
somehow be connected. The guy laughed and came back with a hokie bird. He
said I I never thought I would sell this, it was a special order that was
never picked up. I waited while he attached the charms and I was all
set. Then it was dad's turn and I was having yet another hard time. I
called the club and asked if they could arrange a round of golf at Oakmont?
I was assured that they could and I asked if it could be foursome? Again I
was assured that was a go. Now it was just the wedding gift and that would
have to wait, I needed to think about it and see what the final plans were.

At home there was a note from Ryan saying dinner was in the refrigerator
and I decided wait for dad and called the VT athletic office and asked for
the NCAA compliance officer. I was asked my name and was put on
hold. Almost immediately a guy got on and introduced himself as Tom
Jackson, I asked his title and was told, the person you asked for. I said
well I am Michael Simmons and I'm sorry to bother you but actually, I don't
need to talk with you right now, I'll simply get the information from Notre
Dame and I hung up. I sat at my desk and started to count and in less than
a minute my phone rang and it was a Blacksburg area code and I let it go to
voice mail. I listened to the voice mail and was surprised that it was
Coach Conn saying Michael you have exactly 15 minutes to call me back and
stop with the damn games.

I waited 10 minutes and call the number back and asked for Coach Conn, I
was on hold for like 5 minutes and was about to hang up when Coach got on
and said so Michael, you calmed down? I said yes sir, I am. He said what
can I do for you? I said coach I wanted compliance information and dates
and your guy was rude. The coach said Mike, he said the same thing about
you, so let's get past this. I said sure coach, please send me that
information, is there anything else? He said well between now and your
visit I would like to see an attitude change. I said on both our parts or
just mine. He replied, Mike on your part. As for on our part I am pretty
sure you are figuring out a timeline to commit to us and I want it clear
that the minute you do you will be expected to act like a Hokie and not a
spoiled jock, can we agree on that? I said coach, absolutely. Actually, I
appreciate being treated like a normal recruit, enjoy your day. Then he
said Mike you are a normal recruit and hung up. I thought SHIT, be
careful. Damn, I knew they were the ones to pushback but damn that was a
lesson learned.

Then I remembered the wedding gift and decided on a gift certificate to the
best restaurant near the cabin and would call the chamber of commerce
tomorrow. Glad that was set in my mind, I then settled on running suits for
Jim, Rob, Tim and Brian and a matching one for me. I would take them to a
local place and have MJS Enterprises put on each.

I laid on the bed thinking damn things certainly change when they think
they have you. I started to think that I would give them a verbal on the
visit but now that will wait and I will tell them that it is down to three
and I had 2 more visits. On the other hand I simply don't want to play
games and get a bad reputation. Well it will become what it will be.

I went down stairs and found dad eating, I grabbed and iced tea and joined
him. I asked about wedding plans and he said that it would be just you and
Sally's daughter. So dad what happened to her first husband and how many
kids does she have? Mike her husband died in a boating accident and she has
one daughter. Her name is Judy and she is Bill's age and married. The
ceremony will be at the courthouse December 22nd followed by dinner at the
club then we will be at a hotel and leave for the cabin the next day. Mike,
I'm sorry but that leaves you alone for Christmas but we will be home on
the 30th and you can still have the News Years Eve party. Dad that works
but I was wondering if it would be ok if Jim and I went skiing for a couple
of days? Mike there is no way you will get a room. Dad, so what if Seven
Springs is booked there is always a room some where, let me check with Jim
and I'll deal wit it tomorrow. Then I asked where the Cabin that I have
never seen was located? Mike it is in Hammondsport, NY. I said thanks I was
just wondering, I might like to get there some day. We cleaned up the
kitchen and I went upstairs and worked on History, English and that damn
Spanish. I called Jim and asked if he was interested in a ski trip the 26th
through the 28th? He said that it sounded awesome and he would have to
check with the rents. He asked how good a skier I was and I said very
average. He said that has skied some but not that much. I said Jim we can
stay on the intermediate slopes or easier but the point was to get
away. Then he asked if the girls could come and I laughed and said so the
girls get to ask their rents if they can spend two nights with their
boyfriends at a ski lodge or more likely a motel? He laughed and said you
could pull that off as you and Carrie have been dating forever and Ashley
and I for a very short time, besides we have not had sex yet. Jim, right
now just you and me and possibly Alex? Check and I'll see about rooms at
the lodge. I called the resort and was told that the lodge was full and
there was a waiting list. I asked about anything else and was told that
there were a few Condos available. One of them was a ski-up. I asked what
that was and was told you could leave the condo and ski and then take the
lift up and ski to the condo. I asked it it was available the nights of the
26th and 27th and was told that it would also require the 28th. I asked
about the rates and was told $325 a night. I said that would work and
reserved the condo with my credit card. I was surprised that there was no
questions about my age or number of guests. I asked and was told it slept
6, I thanked them and got off the phone.

I called Carrie and told her about the wedding arrangements and that she
was invited to dinner at the stupid club and that the ceremony was just me
and Sally's daughter. Then I mentioned the ski trip. She immediately ask if
she could come and I said it was a 3 night event and she was welcome if her
rents agreed. That the place slept 6 but..... I'll leave the bull shit to
you. I said if she got the ok, I would see if Jim could talk Ashley into
joining us. She laughed and said well that's a lot to pull off. Babe, I
know but you could always come up for the day? I said no rush and I love
you.

I went down stairs found dad watching television and we talked for a while,
I told him about the condo and the complicated conversation with Coach Conn
at VT. Dad said Mike, I don't give a shit about the ski trip but the VT was
just stupid. Just stop the games, pick up the phone in the morning and
verbally commit. Explain to them that you are going to Michigan because you
promised and call ND and say no. Your mind has been made up for weeks and
the verbal can always be changed. Oh, if you get hurt on the ski trip get
yourself to the hospital. I laughed and said deal. I told dad that he was
right about VT but we were still making the visit and I would verbally
commit the last day of the trip. He said Michael, just stop with the
fucking games and do it. Dad, what if I don't like it? He said Mike, you
will be in an athletic dorm one year and then in some apartment so get over
it and unless you skip football and go to CMU, VT is the next best
comp. sci program. Just do it. Then he said Mike, I'm not mad but this is
one time you games will backfire, just trust me, now good night.

The next morning was rain and wet snow so I skipped the run. Dad was up
early and we had coffee and I thanked him for getting in my face last
night. Then he said while I'm at it the ski trip is fine but no girls, Just
guys and I mean it. Dad best I can say is that they might be up for the day
but no overnights. He got up missed my hair and said now get the VT thing
fixed and get to school. I got up snapped to attention saluted and said
Sir, yes, sir. Dad laughed and I drove to school. I saw Jim and said
wingman we need to talk and I saw Carrie and said babe we need to talk,
lunch just you me and Jim. She said Michael, you have me worried. Babe it
is about a VT announcement, just earlier than I thought. At lunch I told
both of them the same story and they both said, Mike it is about time.

After school I went to the field house and was working out and damn Sam was
there again and the little shirt was doing great. I showered and went to
the athletic office and asked if Coach Weston was available and Nancy said
Mike have a seat and I'll find Chuck. Coach Weston came in a few minutes
later and I said coach have a seat here this won't take long. He sat down
and asked, so Mike what's up? I said I was going home and call VT and give
them a verbal. He said Mike I talked with Coach Conn and he is really
worried that he over reacted with you yesterday I think he will be very
pleased if you simply tell him your are ready to commit while in
Blacksburg. I thought for a minute and said, how about I tell him I'm ready
to give a verbal and ask how he want to this. Mike, it nice to have you
thinking. Oh you will be getting a call you are about to be announced as
the high school player of the year by the PG. Also, you made first team all
state. So mention that to VT. Not bad for a junior but really sets the bar
high for next year, I looked him in the eye and said fuck. He got up shook
my hand and said congrats but I'm still waiting to see your building
drawings. I said shit coach I forgot but soon, I promise very soon.

At home there was once again dinner Mac & Cheese and this time and I
thought how great it was to have dinner ready and things must be going well
with the business. I finished dinner and called Tim, we talked for about an
hour and things were indeed going well. I told him about the ski trip and
asked if he wanted to join us? He said he had family plans but appreciated
the offer. Then I told him I would be making a verbal commitment to VT, he
laughed and said damn we all knew that.

I called the Hammonsport Chamber of Commerce ask about restaurants and
looked over the list and selected a restaurant and got a $100.00 gift
card. They could pick it up when they came to the restaurant. With that I
wrote a note of congratulations and told them about the gift card, put it
in an envelope addressed to Mr & Mrs Senior.

I called Carrie and she said that her parents flipped over the idea of the
ski trip and that she was told she was going to visit her aunt in Ohio and
they were not discussing it further. I asked if she would be home for New
Years Eve and she said even if she had to take a bus home. I asked if she
wanted to invite anyone and that Jim and Rob and their dates would be there
and that dad said I could have a party for 8 and that he would drive
everyone home and that there would be very little drinking. Then I added no
sex and she laughed.

Then it was a call to Jim and he said that his dad said the ski trip was
cool and that he shook his head at the cost. I said dude, I have the cost
taken care of you bring the beer and buy me lunch.

I put it off as long as I could, took a big breath and called Coach
Conn. It went to voicemail and I left a message saying "Good evening Coach,
this is Mike Simmons and please call me back at when you have a minute to
talk". I sat at my desk and started working on school work. I was half way
through Math when my phone rand and I saw it was a Blacksburg area code,
let it ring three time and answered with "good evening this is Mike". The
reply was " hi, Mike this is Coach Conn what can I do for you"? Well coach,
I would like to apologize for being a shit the other day, it was a very
stressful day and I should have waited to call. Coach Conn said Mike, I
guess neither of us was having a good day, so let's move on. I said coach,
I would appreciate a fresh start. So Mike, what's going on? Well I am ready
to make a verbal commitment and would like to know how you would like that
to happen? Mike, most kids just tell the local media. However, you were
correct the other day when you indicated you were not the average
recruit. Your selection as player of the year in your history rich district
and first team on the all state selection as a junior is unreal. Then he
said, Mike I have a few questions, please don't fly off the handle, I
replied coach, just ask there will never again be drama.

The first question, are you committing to the university or the football
team? Coach, yes to both, I have always been upfront about how important
the academics are. Coach said Mike that's a great answer. Mike, is Jim
aware of this decision? I said yes, he is. Then he asked where he stands in
his process and I replied, coach, please ask Jim. Then I said coach while
we are doing a visit on the same weekend it is because, Jim is not me and
his dad is not my dad and Jim has very little help. Mike, don't
underestimate Jim. I said coach I don't at all, but his dad is overwhelmed
by all this. Mike, so you are telling me that you will do no more visits?
Coach your turn not to be upset as I promised Jim if he was making a visit
to Michigan, I would do what we are doing at VT. Would that make it appear
that my commitment to VT is soft? Mike, like you I don't give a shit, just
keep us in the loop. I said, coach that's not a problem. Then he said as
for an announcement please keep it between you and me until your visit, we
might do something special. Ok, coach have a great holiday. He replied
Merry Christmas. I was glad that was over with and now it is Christmas
break and the wedding and me and the wingman on the slopes.
