6. 1998 was a weird year. I was with a woman who made me the envy of all my friends. She was an 11. I’m a 3 on my best day. I was a bartender in a cool little bar. I had lots of friends. But I was miserable. So in the fall of ‘98 I bought a sailboat online, sold or gave away everything I owned, broke up with the girl and headed out on what would end up being a 4 year adventure. So I guess you could say I had balls. I miss them.

7. Kids that couldn't wait for me to come home and bring them little trinkets they called (specials). They'd be at the front window calling daddy daddy, did you bring specials. Always something small, toys, kids books, some videos from blockbuster. Now I'm lucky if I get to see them let alone talk to them, they're adults and working.
