18 years old. 23 years ago. Didn't know what life had in store for me right around the corner.

Now, at 41, almost 42, I still don't know what life has in store for me.

All I can tell you is that I like me a hell of a lot more than that young man pictured here. Would never want to go back. I will take all the wear and tear on my body, the heartache, the joys, and everything in between that I have experienced since then, and I wouldn't have missed any of it for the world.

Lawton, Oklahoma is my temporary home... Home for me is where my heart is... It is in Kansas, and it is in Montana.

As I go to bed tonight, I wonder what tomorrow brings... All I know is that whatever does come, I hope I am a better man when I greet it.
