Tracy's Story

I like FB too. Retired--Reasoned By Ritchey Former Occupation: 25 years--Combat Support Analyst, Department of Defense, Civilian St. Louis Mo. Six Years flying UH1's for the Army. Daughter Policeman East STL area, Computer/Cell Phone Fixer/Operator, Softball Pitcher, Motorcycle Rider, Jeep Driver, Top Cop Award, Go Cart Driver, and GSG-5/AR15/HK-53LS Shooter, and All Around Great Kid. So Very Proud of her. Former Philosophy for Everyday Life. Someone gave me a 2ND chance at life, what am I going to do with it? Did I do what I really wanted or did I "give in"? What did I learn from that experience/person? What did they learn from me? Yes, my heart breaks too. Sometimes it just takes a little longer to mend. Going to work is only 30% of my time, What did I do with the rest? What is the sum of my live? Exercise? It's OK that I swim 1200 meters in 30 mins 3-4 times a week What really matters; How I swim the 1200 meters in 30 mins 3-4 times a week Rules to live by. 45 is the NEW 35! Be nice to everyone until it's time not too be nice! Never let bad/mean people into your life. They're not worth the pain they cause. Retire? What's that? Oh that's me now. Time to Kick It Into "Chinese OVERDRIVE" and "Go ...Expand for more
For It" Twist a little harder and life comes at you a little faster! Shooting? Riding? Shopping?
