Bruce Vernon:  

Hey all! Yes I'm still alive. LOL It's hard to believe for me too. (smile) All I can say is that its been a great ride so far. At the moment I am widowed and dating. My wife of 22 years passed away after a long battle with MS. I have one son who is 23 this year. I also took in my Niece at the age of 11 and raised her as my own. Both have grown into fairly well adjusted adults........OK mostly. LOL For the better part of 25 years I was a Teamster working in the steel industry. The work was hard, dirty and dangerous and I loved it so. It was never about the money and the money was good. I just liked what I did. In the process I've probably had over 3000 stitches on different parts of my body. After my wife passed I decided that I needed a change and now work for the Federal Government. I can't say any more on that because they get funny when we talk in public forums. I write in my free time though I doubt you have read any of my work. I've raced bicycles and still ride for fun. I've ridden a chopper all over the east coast and still ride. In my free time I frequent Broadway, visit museums and historical sites and make a point to ride as meny rollercoasters as i can get to. Life is to short not to cherish every moment of it and I've done my best to do just that. I've sky dived and gone rock climbing. Hell I even lived on a farm with 10 others for a few years. Can't say I would do it again. But it was an experience no...Expand for more
