| Introduction | My highest goal is to be a cancer survivor. It has been a little over eight years since I had my prostate removed, and then a year later it came back, and I had the radiation. It seems to be level at this time, so I go from day to day, and test to test trying to determine if it has metastasized. More recently I have had two bladder cancer operations, and am developing a fear and loathing of doctors, and hospitals. I believe that I am recently cancer free, and would do the dance if I knew how to dance. I worked most of my life as a maintenance manager, plant engineer, plant engineering manager, and corporate safety manager for a multinational wheel and tire concern. When I got sick they dumped me. Now I broker antique wood, and have spent my savings, leaving me a bit bitter about corporate America. |

You have to dig a hole to China. Where do you start?
I believe my backyard is as good as anyplace. And, I own it.
