MANIPULATION:

It's been all around me for as long as I can remember. The events of this year have awakened me.

Looking back, I allowed myself to be over run by my family, my marraiges and their families, and my employers.

The liberation, now complete, reduced the stress levels beyond the telling of it.

Life is better than it's been in a long, long time.

Maybe that's one of the reasons I hate politicians so much. They're always trying to MANIPULATE people, facts, votes and your wallet.

Wow.

What a ride!

The last posting here was Monday, February 19, 2007.

Since then, I have been positing my musings on my Yahoo 360.

Since that time, I established myself as a Realtor, Tried telemarketing Antivirus Software and interviewed so very many places that thought I was "too experienced" to get their jobs. (Just another form of AGE DESCRIMINATION!!); I became a Grandfather; I buried my mom; I moved and most importantly, I became SELF EMPLOYED!

Life's twists and turns are a very interesting ride.

View all you can!

Experience all you can!

You only have ONE youth. Mine's gone! I learned very late that I have about 20 years left.

Enjoy the Ride!
