Cliff notes of my life

Oldest of 9 kids, 16 years between me and my youngest brother. Born and raised catholic. My dad was a otr truck driver, mother was housewife. When I was 10 years old I started delivering newspapers. At 12 started caddying at the golf course. Went to work on the golf course racking sand traps, worked 25 to 50 hours a week and went to school. After I got out of school I went full time on the course. Started drinking a lot. Brought a new car [1964 Ford Galaxy 500 bright red] Was engaged, broke up joined the marine core, couldn't pass the physical [low blood pressure, flat feet]. Volunteered for the draft, Army had no problem with my blood pressure or flat feet. Went into the airborne jumped 11 times. Went to Vietnam. Not a good experience. Came out with a attitude. Totaled the car, went to work at Harris corp, 2ed shift assembler. When not working stayed drunk. Didn,t care if the sun came up or not. No friends didn,t want any. To be continued.

Second Monday in a row

Its been one of those days where you just close your eyes, than you think about the day and think its Monday. Just a nasty day all day. Only good thing about today was the men,s bible study this morning. Every Tues morning at 6:30 7-10 of us men in the church have bible study, been meeting for the last 5-6 years. It was very good this morning. Just goes to show you it all depends on what you focus on. after the bible study I went to work and forgot every thing we talked about in the study. We talked about turning things over to God, well I failed that just after I got to work.
But tomorrow is another day. I just hope it goes better. My daughter will be in Sat. from Wis. that will be fun to see her

Its a monday

Its Monday 12-10-07, 2 weeks until Christmas eve. Funny how time goes when you get old, it seemed like yesterday I was getting ready for spring.
Church went well yesterday, not many people, it was suppose to be icier but never happened. But that is all it takes for some people not to come. Just talk about bad weather and they will stay home.
This has been one of those weekends where I was every where but didn't get a thing done. I bought this and that went here and there never got a thing done. But that's alright to. It was relaxing, no pressure. And God knows my life is all about pressure.
Until next time
