| Introduction | I'm 59 and disabled. I'm not real sure how disabled, since I'm quite sure I'm not useless. I'm not as strong as I used to be. I worked in insurance for over 20 years, and before that I was a sailor on a nuclear submarine. I had 4 kids, two were inherited when I got married, and two more that are way too much like me. One of my inherited kids has since passed away. I play golf when I can, and I love to fish. I am generally handy and firmly believe that if I can find a book to tell me how to do something, then I can do it. I believe in God and I believe in freedom and liberty. I have been married to the same woman for the last 33 years, and it looks like we're stuck with each other. I'm a happy person, grateful for what I have, but generally not requiring a lot. Watching my trees grow and my flowers bloom is what I call relaxation. The only thing that makes that experience more enjoyable is to have my dog Dixie near by. I like good cigars, Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 maduro as a matter of fact, and good Vodka and beer. I have moved to the country to retire and avoid the Chicago traffic, to fish and raise a garden, and spend more time with my wife. |
