: About Me

About Me:

From a furrnished room, to living in the Projects and finally an apartment across the street from the old Yankee Stadium. It was a great way to grow up.

 A 60 year old handicapped man that is never seen as handicapped. My personality shines like the sun reflecting off of a bald mans head. In high school, and college I always got out of writing by asking the teacher if I could do something more creative. I would play guitar, and sing a song I wrote. Signing was my passion. I was the opening act for Elton John, and Jethro Tull, one time each.

After college I found my passion had changed. I became a very good salesman, and speaker. Just put a microphone in my hand, and try to get me to shut up. With my charisma I would speak anywhere, anytime on any subject. I can teach Barack Obama how to stimulate a crowd without a tele-prompter.

Then Multiple Sclerosis tried to take over. I have the worst type of MS (Chronic Progressive), and was supposed to be a quad 16 years ago. Although I've been limited in what I can do, my fight continues. I can no longer sing, play guitar, play Football, Basketball, Softball, etc. I have played with "Hall of Famers" and professional athletes. It's ME versus MS! I believe I will win.

In the meantime (through my wife) I found the computer, and writing. In fact I can't stop writing! I believe I have a lot to say, and I will never be held back. If you read my articles you will understand why you should think like me (a little ego).

My favorite thing in life is helping people whether they know me, or not. I will do anything possible for people through any connection I have, or I will try to find out who they should speak to. I've gotten a young girl out of an abusive relationship, helped couples stay together, found an apartment in Rome for a cousin in London. You never know until you open your mouth.

Like many couples my wife and I went away for a weekend with our best couple friends. Not trying to brag, we were two good looking couples. Their names were Don and Judy, and I admit I had some special feeling for her. She looked completely different than my wife, Linda. Judy was tall 5'9, with very long legs. Her hair was black, long, thick and straight. Everything about her enticed me. Linda was just the opposite, but don't get me wrong. She was really a hot, short, petite, large busted angel. Judy and Bart lived in the house next to ours, and we frequently ...
