Mike's Story
Life
In the past 27 some odd years since graduation my life has taken many paths and I have made a whole lot bad decisions and yet I have few regrets. To sum it up I'll use the verse of one of my favorite songs. "Some of it's magic and some of it's tragic but I've had a good life all the way"
After high school I went into the USAF and met the mother of my children and stayed married for seven years... Thru circumstances that will remain my own my folks helped me raise them and in '85 I got out of the aur force and bummed around the country for a year before finally coming home to roost in San Diego. I tried the college routine with little success and after much soul searching I decided to persue a "career" in trucking and that's where I've been since 1988 and believe it on not I still enjoy the job..even after 2 million plus miles.

e in Kingman Az where I recently purchaced and older mobile that I will fix up over time. I enjoy and embrace the slower pace of life here i(i.e read "cheaper) and it's quiet. My roommate is a 14 lb-5 year old Yorkie and for the most part I am happy. I devide my spare time(what little I have of it) between going to SD to see the kids and folks and fixing the house.
I don't have much but what I do have is mine and though there are other that have been more sucessful and lived more spectacular lives I do like what and who I am. I have seen many brilliant sun rises and been caught in snow storms in July and it's those times I cherish.
My plan for my 45th birthday is to celebrate it by riding across country on a mototcycle and seeing those places I have often passed and seldom wondered about...I live my life
from day to day and pray for a tommorrow..
