From this point forward, there is one thing we can ever hope for -- to do the best we possibly can. This is my goal. It's a continual learning process, which sometimes takes me in circles and I'm constantly making mistakes. However, I've resolved to strive to move forward until I can no longer do so. This is balanced with a desire to have fun, survive, and have good relationships. That's me in a nutshell

I've watched two loved ones die -- my dog and grandfather. I never want to watch another one die. I'm not doing this for money or fame - I'm doing it for family, friends, and myself.
