The Altar Boy


A friend reminded me that I was a former altar boy and stripper and that I should write a book. When you look at my saga and include those two diametrically opposing personality types I can see why a tome might be in order.   

When I think of those two pieces of my life I automatically think of my weight loss of 75 pounds, my marathon and ultra-marathon days, my three wives, five miscarriages (one stillborn child) and my drug and alcohol addiction. And where I am today a sexagenarian whose cage opened unexpectedly and is now wandering the open range. I suppose that there are several things that I have added to some that roam the earth and if there is only a dearth that can agree I will spend my remaining days making other people smile, take notice and spend a few moments remembering my past. To those I love and will always love I say that with sincerity that I tried to make a difference in their lives  (believed or not) even if some of my character defects left them with pain and sadness.

  1. After reading that JB, I feel your heavy heart. I hope & pray that things work out for you & that only do you make others smile, but you have countless smiles that others bestow on you !
