I could speak of all he things I've seen, done and experienced, but no one would believe me.  Only those close to me know it's not a bunch of dreamy lies. I've met some very famous and great people. There is a differnce..

 

One of the things, I think my parents instilled in me, is to live life and enjoy it with no regrets, but be ready to live with its cosequences.

 

* Some highlights include in no particular order:

  # Travleing to 47 of the 50 states

  # Meeting Muhmmed Ali

  # Meeting Joe Nameth as a young kid

  # Wokring with what I considered some of the smartest and most visionary people and watcinhg them work

  # Opportunies to be on ground floor of many good learning experiences

  # Seen more than my fair share of live rock concerts. Dinner with some of the stars, partied with a few, and met some before they were famous.

  # Had a number of good friends that would number in the 20's. Some for 30+ years.

Some lowlights:

 

  # Loosing a cousin

  # Being at my mother's bedside while she died

 

Many more highlights than lowlights.

 

* Lessons learned from some of the BEST people have been great life lessons that everyone should partipate in. A guy named Bobby Pancake is one of the best teachers I know. I hope the people around him take advantage of thier friendship with him.

 

* Marrying into a great family..I tell my wife all the time, the reason I ask her to marry me, was her parents.

 

* Having a daughter that puts aside the pain of a sports injury to still compete. She'll learn, perseverance pays.
