So. in 1998....

[OAITW r.2.0]

my farmhouse burned down - after I had built a great 2 car garage and overhead rec room {pool table). I was displaced. with 2 young kids, no local family, and what now?

Rented a lake cottage for the summer on the owntown lake. l.that's where my kids and wife went the summer. Sweet..

During this time, my mom was dying from ALS. What do I do. I do what I have to do. My sisters, god bless them, were my mom's guardian angels

Then uncontrollable nosebleeds...really bad. Couldn't bend over without the bleeding starting. A week later. I'm in surgery getting a stent between the eyes. Doc says. "there a chance of optic damage"...then I'm under. Total success, no problems - back pounding nails 2 weeks.later,,,,

Life was, and still is, interesting.

2. In life, I think we all have a year like that,

It's the one that you will always remember.
