Thanks Slick, every time Jim Morrison's Birthday rolls around, I feel older and less functional. I tell Rhonda all of the time that I have not forgot how to do things or how they work, I am just too old to fix things anymore. I am sure that you know this, but the older that one gets, the less that the filters work as well. I grew up in a family where big, loud, personalities were required in order to gain attention.

My biggest failures in life have all been due to trusting other people to do the right things. I have always looked for the good in people and in situations, no matter how bad or difficult. After getting burned pretty bad more times than I would like to admit, I finally came to the conclusion that people will always take advantage of generosity and kindness, so I no longer take that approach with people. That is why most people only see the rough side of me. And that is fine. If someone, like yourself, takes the time to really get to know me, then I will open myself up and allow myself to trust them.

I do not have very many really good friends, but those who I choose to put into that category, are precious to me and I would give them the shirt off of my back. And that is how I choose to live my life. Some may not understand, and that is cool. At my age, I have become a giver, no longer a taker. I help my neighbors by cutting their lawns, helping them with their trash, and looking out for their property when they are away. I had to have knee surgery in the summer of 2019, and I had several different neighbors come over and cut my lawn and help Rhonda and I with everyday chores. One of them is an 80 year old former Marine who is the most religious person that I have ever known. Another one is a current SCHSL referee. One is the head of DSS for the SC Lowcountry. The wife of one is on the advisory board for the State Dept. of Education. We are very fortunate to live where we do, and extremely lucky to have such good neighbors, and friends.

And thanks again to you, and my other friends on this website. I may pick at and agitate with you, but if any of you are ever in need of my help, all you have to do is ask. If I am able to, I will help you with whatever you need. Thanks again, and hope to be a thorn in everyone's butt for another year. Peace. Alan

Thanks for the sentiments.

Since he started at VPI, think that "Gobble Jaws" sounds like a winner.
