Howdy again.

   I can't believe how long it's been since I wrote on here. My youngest son had foot reconstruction surgery, and my wife and I got involved with an amazing home business called Melaleuca. Today was the worst work day of my life. A 14 year old boy from the high school where I work was shot and killed in front of his grandma's house. Apparently, he was "guilty" of being African-American. He reportedly had no gang ties. What a senseless, ridiculous, idiotic waste. When will this stupid, pointless killing stop? What's it got to take? I can't imagine the pain and anger of losing a child, especially to some cowardly little punk pulling a trigger to prove what a big man he is. Probably some gang initiation. Only cowards and dogs run in packs.

   Howdy. It's been entirely too long since I wrote in here, and I apologize. Life has been crazy. I've barely been able to keep up with Facebook.
   It's the 1st of February already. Unbelievable. Where'd January go? Seriously.
   My youngest son has surgery a week from today, which is also my Mom's birthday. It's foot reconstruction surgery which will take about 9 months to recuperate from. Then, they'll do the other foot. We just built an 8 ft. long cement ramp to accommodate his wheelchair. The next 2 years are gonna be tough, but I hope & pray it will all be worth it for him.
   My story is still in the works. Hope to work on it soon. Hardly have had time to write. Why does life get in the way of what we really WANT to do?
