Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2892439, member: 8988"] I love these stories of players with passions beyond the game. It shows up the stereotype blockheads drowning their free time in alcohol, drugs and women ( not that that doesn't happen) and gives a more nuanced picture of people who come from a lot of backgrounds with a variety of passions and interests. He writes poetry, Sammy does cooking, Lockyer was into architecture. It reminds us of both theirs and also our own humanity and the potential in all of us to live beyond the everyday to reach out for more. The worst thing for me to hear is that someone's passion for their work is all encompassing. That kind of exclusion destroys the soul. The saddest thing is they are usually blind to it until the end.
