Greg Monroe reports to be a 43 year old, happily married guy. He has been blessed with a loving, beautiful wife and three awesome kids.

The author was raised in the south and most of his songs, poems, and memoirs are reflections of his experiences and life on the farm. He grew up working at his family sawmill and tobacco farm.

At one time Greg had dreams of a singer/song writer's life in Nashville. He has written lots of songs that mostly speak to growing up in the south.

Writing has always been a part of his life. The overuse of humor is perhaps this authors greatest weakness, but he is unlikely to change this late in the game.

Greg hopes that one day what he has had to say may help his children or anyone else who stumbles upon his writings.

He tells us that finding Helium was like discovering a fresh cricket to go fishing with.

Greg wishes grace and peace to all of you.

Maybe it was her twisted smile, that more resembled that of the Joker's than the caring face I had come to know and love. Suddenly, I wasn't in the mood for jokes. I wanted to protect myself but didn't know how.

"The procedure itself is quite a simple one. It's no big thing."

My wife's obstetrician now joined in on the fun. Yes, I know I'm a grown man, bu...
