A Man's Illness Is His

The Madmen Seem To Live On Forever, Don't They?

You Spend A Good Part Of Your Adult Life Acquiring Things: Building A Home, Filling It With Objects That Please Your Eye And Make You Feel Comfortable. Then You Spend The Last Part Of Your Life Trying To Figure Out How To Get Rid Of It All.

Sophie, My Dog, Is The High In The Highlights Of My Life. Even Through Rain, Snow, Ice, And General Laziness, She Is The Reason I Smile When I Wake Up And A Comfort To Me Continually. I Could Never Have Imagined That A Now Five-pound, Six-ounce Dog Would Take Over My Life. But It Has Happened, And I Am Happy To Have Someone To Look After And Share My Moods With.

My Mother Was The Greatest Example To Me Of Anyone I've Ever Known. She Didn't Have An Easy Life. I Adored Her. She Worked Hard All Her Life, And She Was The One Who Set My Values. She Was Quite An Amazing Woman, Although She Wasn't Tough At All.

I Am Not A Has-been. I Am A Will-be.
