Favorite Quotations
lines from songs
We may lose and we may win
but we will never be here again (Eagles)
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key (Eagles again)
Willie Nelson
On the road again Going' places that I've never been
Seein'things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again
About Me
Happily Married for 41 years drove a semi for 30+ years 3 million miles without a accident made all forty eight (lower) states and every major city except Seattle WA... Never felt like I worked a day in my life. I have 5 wonderful kids and 6 Grand kids. I have a 6Th son I never met and possibly more Grandchildren I never met.
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention (Frank Sinatra & me)
