| Time Marches On | |||||||||||||||||
| Okay! So I'll admit that it hasn't been too excitiing. I'll tell you one thing though. My three sisters and myself will tell you that growing up was an interesting experience that really should be enjoyed by everyone. Anyway, after graduating High School, hanging around for awhile, getting in a car wreck, I decided that the best thing I could do was to get to hell out of town. In a whirlwind decision I joined the U.S. Marine Corps and it turned out to be the best thing I had ever done up to that point in time. |

| I'll say one thing. My tour in the Corps gave me the confidence to do things "My Way". Okay! So everybody makes mistakes sometimes. | |||||||||||||||||

| Cool looking "dude" huh? I often wonder what the hell happened. | |||||||||||||||||

| It has been said that misery likes company. Everyone can agree with that. I just couldn't see being miserable the rest of my life so I became "a bad guy". Someone much higher that you and I said that we should never judge someone else. It's really funny but most of us are aware that what goes around, comes around. Life's tough sometimes and everyone has their own reason for living and their own price to die. | |||||||||||||||||
| I took off running through those doors like a horse from the starting gate. Free at last. Free at last. Great God Almighty. Free at last. Oh Sure! I got married (probably a little too soon). But in all seriousness some of the bumps and curves of the road along with incredible peer and familial pressure had the bond broken before it started. Yes. I feel sorry for the three children. Like Elvis said. "Why are the children always first, to feel the pain and hurt the worst". He was right. It don't seem right. |

| Let's just say that "Dottie" and I had a whole lot of water pass under the bridge before she passed away but evidently our son Sean decided to be a chip off the old block as he is also an entertainer. | |||||||||||||||||

| Anyway, after some rather tense moments. The decision was sort of made for me that I should leave the great state of New Jersey and head "south for the winter" (so to speak). By the way. I will never forget my first trip through the tourist trap. South of the Border. Quite a joint to say the least. Anyway "Dottie" who was basically in the same boat that I was. must have done something right. We were together for 31 years before her deaath. | |||||||||||||||||
| It's been nearly five years since Dottie died and my own personal life has been fairly tumultuous. The details of which only "the chosen few" know. Anyway, it prompted me into returning to what I enjoy the most. Entertaining. | |||||||||||||||||

| Seeing Sean and his lovely wife Erin get married was undoubtedly one of the happiest days of my life. Many tears were shed that day covering every emotion possible. It was just a shame that Dottie could not see our son getting married, although I know that she was looking down from above on Sean and Erin with a smile on her face and joy in her heart. | |||||||||||||||||
