Ordeal Rides Again : Ordeal VII

Michael Ordeal, known profligate, started out his erotic journeys, wondering if he could become a one-a-day SA batsman. He achieved that his second year and is now averaging 1.5 SA's per day (365 X 1.5 = 547). Big "O's" were once important. Not the driving factor anymore. They have levelled out at slightly less than 150 per year, depending upon the number of SA's achieved. Batting Average was initially over .400, but then dipped, as times-at-bat (and fatigue) increased. Ordeal is basically your 1-for-4 (.250) hitter. Still Major League caliber. New Faces tend to dwindle as the Area becomes more familiar. Yet less discoveries. Experience becomes more of an attribute than youthful exuberance. Number of Vessels remains fairly constant. The few among the many to support the foreign clientele. Lurking in the back streets. Dependent more upon (personal) demand than (public) supply. Never-ending quest. Fruitful as it is futile.
