MAY BE ITS TIME TO TELL DA A LITTLE ABOUT ME!

Born in a little town in Western New York.
Did a tour in the US Navy?
I have lived in New York, New Jersey , California, Florida, Illinois, Alaska (1200 mi. west of Anchorage on the Island of Adak), and Hawaii, Spain, Greece, and now live in Maryland
I have seen 38 countries on five continents and all but one of the States of these United States
I have been a very lucky Man!
I have been married for 33 years to a Wife that I don't deserve, Three Grown Daughters, and blessed with Four lovely Grandchildren.
I have flown in a fighter jet, and have had breakfast at the foot of the Bavarian Alps.
I have jumped out of a perfectly good airplane at 12000 feet and have seen the wild life on the African Plains.
Drank home made brandy in the Greek sun while sitting on an ancient ruins, and the next day backpack the deepest gorge in Europe.
I have 4 wheeled over the Atlas Mt. in Northern Africa and eaten Sushi in Tokyo.
I have had a beers with my best buds in Sidney and in Munich as well as many other places
I have hunted big game in Alaska on the Alaskan Mts. and fished for big fish in the Caribbean
I have seen Volcanoes erupt and witnessed Earthquakes,
I have seen Rainbows every day for almost a year, really!
The best things have been, the Guest of people all over the world Germans, Greeks Italians, Mexicans, Africans, Spaniards, Brits, Japanese, Philippines, Canadians, Australians, etc.
Many of these were people of means and many people of no means.
Have cried at the death of family members and cried when holding babies just seconds old, and have laughed with friend and family until I cried.
I can still smell the sent of the markets in Europe, the flowers in Hawaii.
I can sill see the blue glow of the Alaskan snow because it was so clean and see the green of Shannon Ireland.
The bite in the air of German winter evening, and the feel the dry wind of an Israeli morning.
I can hear the Church Bells in Austria, and in my home town on Christmas morn.
Sometimes it seems like a dream!
Oh, Sooo Lucky.
