With each passing year, I have become more concerned with legacy. I hope those who care will find herein a few gems of wisdom, perhaps profit from some of my experiences, and smile at some of my memories. My hope is that these pages, along with my chosen quotations, will motivate you to live well, learn wisely, do good things, and be inspired to write your own history. Your story must be told or be lost to the sands of time. From my experience, just the writing of it is worth the effort, even if you are the only one to read it.
