[Herky] Stuck with Fran

[Suzanne Bailey]

Good grief, What a downer. I guess I'll have to start looking at this 
team as a total disaster. Give up completely and send my season tickets 
back.  As Dennis said, I'll try to back off the edge. Deep breath, life 
is still good. There that feels better.
