God is my friend. My motto is "Living My Big Adventure" and "Always Leave Improved Conditions In My Wake." I like to read and study. At the age of 7 I was man of the house, oldest of 5 sons.

I have literally sat atop the pinnacle of the palace of Athena. I've been on Death's doorstep nine times that I'm aware of. I like what I do and do what I like. Be well. Have Fun. It takes practice.
