Fate has had a funny way of taking chickenshit and making chicken salad for me. I've had some real screwups but have managed to land on my feet. Even in the face of troublesome times I have two anchors who keep me grounded and headed forward. I'd love to have gone on to college and maybe made wiser choices but for the life of me I can't say my feeble financial or social status takes away from the rewards I've reaped from raising two of the best kids I know of. Proud Pop? Yep, damn right... and I'm still pushing. I just enrolled back in school to try to finish my degree. I start tuesday evening. Who says an old bear can't learn new tricks?
