re: In all seriousness, why did EdO go off the rails?

I won't say that I know a cat like Coach O. I do not.

I will say this - he seems like a man with insatiable appetites. And that's usually how folks achieve. He certainly has - at a high level.

That's not easy to live with. Any more than being Mrs. Beethoven, or Mrs. Bach, or Mr. Ayn Rand. And any woman that does has to have her issues too - because it takes crazy to marry crazy.

With smart comes crazy. How much do you want ?
