No I didn't....but between my little brother's Lincoln Town Car massive bad debts, last years election, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and now these towel heads. Moe, If I don't just settle down, I will. I'm too damm pasionate....I have gone down, down, down, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up and drug sideways for the last 19 months. I damm near died at 35, and now I'm 45. I just need some space to think....wood, a fire, my tractor...a beer and some friends. We had 30 family Members out for Thanksgiving, and we'll have 50 for Christmas. Tommorrow, I'm not working...and today I was to have been in Lansing for a big Michigan Association of Home Builders Meeting on a 19 Million Dollar Health Program with Blue Cross. I'm tainted in my thinking about Blue Cross of Michigan so I didn't go to cast my 1 vote of 5 that would effect 1531 businesses in that group. And I'd swayed the other 4 in what I would have said...but I didn't say it, don't know what the vote was and don't care. They will tell, me. And it will be the way I thought...ie no reason to go....and get all stressed up. Cause they want me to do it again next year. I'm drinking a beer, what's new right...I am a German. 2 years ago, I gave nealy all our furniture away everything but the beds. Then the Market took a dump. Tomorrow I have a whole house full of new furniture comming hopefully before noon. Because tomorrow like I said I'm not working. My ex partner Seventh Day Adventist Professor Neighbor who don't drink beer but loves me is having a tree digger come out and move some pine trees. That's the funny thing about planting trees, you plant them and then 10 15 years later they need to get moved. Bill has him from 8 till noon, he's putting in a privacy screen around his home....ain't that cool? I can't see him anyway but that's me telling him we need to have wildlife corridors, a sheltered zone for the critters to move about us. Had a 6 point Buck in the front yard two weeks ago. Standing right there; Mamma, my Sister, me and the Kids...within 20 ft in broad daylight. I get the Tree guy from noon on, I'm moving some peach, apple and cherry trees and bringing in pines up the lane to the house, and all around me and Momma's Barns. Our new Neighbor Howard got Married on Saturday last to Sue, and dissed us up a Holy Communion at the cermoniy...both of them. To me and Mamma Luthern, and Bill and Tammy Seventh Day Adventists. I didn't know what faith Howard was, his Grandpa was a Black Man, I got Indians in my family(texas rangers-you figure it out). I live in Michigan, on a 40 acre parcel I bought 16 years ago, for 20 thousand....and I've surrounded myself with good friends, family, business partners, and hope. Oh, yea..and none of us is alike, cept we all started with nothing, or behind the eight ball. Bill and Tammy are personally funding a mission in Afganistan with some of that software money. Now ain't that just too cool, how an idiot like me can come up with an idea, that changed things that will change things? I'm humbled, but don't get me pissed, cause I'll rip you a new one. Have Peace..
