James's Story
Talking/writing about myself is something I loathe. My theme song would have to be 'Life's Been Good to Me So Far' by Joe Walsh. I graduated from UGA Pharm program when I was 20. The state had to change some law so I could practice. I am one of the Best Pharmacist in the World. I will not discuss my marriage.Well, I will say I have a beautiful wife. I have 2 sons born in 1985 & 1987. One is finishing Architect School I guess while the other studies environmental science & the mysteries of the Universe. They are the only priority I have at this moment. My Wife and I are very lucky to have 2 magnificent children. The oldest really has a lust for life, while the youngest is very placid. I have too many hobbies to list. But Music, Investing and Firearms are very big. I also am a big fan of a writer by the name of Philip K Dick. I have been collecting his books since I was 16. I consider all people equal. I just don't find many people interesting. Happiness to me is something that comes and goes, I am always Happy but it is a state of flux. I probably have too much self confidence. I have one true friend that I trust. I met him after college. He has never said or done anything to me that did not show 100% respect. I feel the same about him. I would stop & go help him anytime/anyplace if he called. We are friends and colleagues. He also has the Midas Touch. I abhor Greed, Lust, Jealousy, Gossipers,Greed, Lies,Takers, Vanity, Those that Judge and Greed.My oldest son James or 3 (nickname) has all my flaws/traits/appearance. I look pretty much the same as I did in college, but of course I have aged. I weigh 25 pounds more thank goodness. And I got those braces off my teeth. My hair has remained on my head thank God. My head shape would be quite frightenin...Expand for more
g if hair wasn't covering it. I finally had to get out of the hard contact lens I wore for 30 years due to the beginnings of warped corneas. So now I wear spectacles. My wife said I always made a spectacle of myself so I guess that's payback. I never expected to come back to live in Hartwell but some guys needed a RPh for a temporary gig but I met my wife in the store. By the way, the unemployment rate in Hartwell is over 12% which is double the state rate of 6%. A sad, sad fact. I am still a loner so to speak but I still manage to do the things I love. 3 & myself saw Ray Davies of The Kinks in Atlanta last month which we really enjoyed. We are Buckethead fans and have seen him 3 times also. I do see some people from Hart High pretty often. Lenford & Rita Smith, Thomas Jordan (he owns Greers now) Flo Brown,Rick Fisher, Tom Hardigree, David Saliba about once a year, Jeff Morrison. I work with Jan Marsh or Mrs. Paul Oglesby. She runs the store basically because I still am a little hyper & can't stay focused on most things for a long time. She really helps keep me on task. Also, Rick's daughter Kelly is really great. Both those ladies make my job easier by keeping me from wandering/daydreaming. I read constantly. Play guitar regularly. Give Thanks regularly. I hope All of my classmates are having a Great Life. I know from personal experience you can find yourself in something crazy entirely by accident. Life is full of surprises, unplanned trainwrecks, wild rollercoaster rides and whatnots. But I have found that cheap thrills will break you. The one Universal Truth is that your Health is more important than Gold. So I don't take tomorrow for granted, try to do the best I can on a daily basis & try to share the fact that you must guard your Health.
