I have been weightlifting for tha past two years and I can see my abs again--on a good day. ...Expand for more
I am starting to bald and I keep my hair short. On the other hand,I have my own bathroom next to my own dressing room and a full time maid. I moved to El Paso, TX in 97. My wife is from here. I also work in New Mexico wich is a far away from me as Skokie is to downtown Chicago. The Southwest is very different from Chicago! The weather here is magnificent and there is a 1000 yard rifle range 20 minutes from my house. I can use my pool from March until late September. El Paso is a bad place to visit but a great place to live. Lots of mountains. My Mom recently moved here so I guess this is were I will spend the rest of my life. I had a very adventurous youth and I'd like a peaceful and prosperous midlle age. I miss a lot of things about Chicago but I am compensated by year around sun shine and beautiful mountains. I have written a fictional book and it looks like I will get a major publisher to print it soon. I believe in civic virtue and being guided in one's affairs by wisdom and common sense. I enjoy my family and friends. I have a loving relationship with my children and my grand children. My wife and I are close and we are devoted to each other. We have been together for 15 years. I turned 60 on 2/21/07 and as I write this I realize that I have been extrordinarily lucky in life. I live well. making money has allowed me to be who I want to be. With regards to any old friends who may read this, Ken.
