Hi

I am 59 , retired , married with four adult children and have spent a lifetime dealing directly with the public via the finance industry .

Like so many people I have experienced the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" that life has to offer. I have known such joy as to believe in that marvelous song "What a Wonderful World" I have also known such utter despair as to " take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them " Fortunately those "arms" were not available and I continue to battle with the sea of troubles.
At times those seas seem more like mighty oceans.

What I have found in life is the value of family and friends. From them I draw my strength and the will to survive. I have learned that the best thing you can do for a person is to show care and consideration but above all extend encouragement for there is enough negativity already without you adding to a person's burden.

My passion is ...

health wealth and hapiness , maybe not in that order

I know too much about ...

money , how to get it and keep it eludes me though

My parents always told me ...

always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns .I dont have any plans to go to Reno.

My childhood ambition ...

to be a doctor

My favorite memory ...

the earliest recollection of the Easter Bunny

Why I write ...

I missed my calling

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

anything and everything

My first job ...

delivering medicine

My best moment ...

My wedding . My mother said it would never happen

My inspiration ...

My mother

From ash you came
Only to return
Like all others before
The same
A Circle

From dependence you rose
Only to return
To reliance on others
At the close
A Circle

And the love you've shown
Only to return
From all others
Family and friends you've known
A circle

So to ash you go
Only to return
In our hearts and mind
Memories just so
A circle
