| Introduction | I'm a middle-aged guy who is a 'retired'CPA and an active entrepreneur. I buy, fix, and resell pro and vintage musical band instruments, especially saxes and clarinets. I like to scrounge thru garage sales, auctions, 2nd hand shops and so on and find little treasures to resell on Ebay or elsewhere. Life is challenging and you have to keep your wits about you. I've been married twice. My present wife became significantly disabled in 2003, two years after I quit my state job to be a stay at home dad and take care of my quadri-plegic step-son. One of my older sons was killed in 2001 outside my home. So.... as I said, life is tough, but as Damon Runyon says, 'He's doing the best he can, which is pretty much what all of us do.' I am pretty stable, but do get despondent from time to time, and have to work hard to keep focused on taking care of business here. My handle, Azuka, happens to be the first name of my best friend from college. |
