it was a warm spring night back in 1967..........   aaaahhhh the good ol' 
days of being ten feet tall and bullet proof.  I know  a few of you have been 
there, done that, bought the t-shirt, wore it  out.   for the new guy, I got a 
little more return each day  for  about the 1st year.  since then, I've been on 
steady hold- no gains but  more importantly, no major losses.  what helped me 
through was a good woman  whom I dated a few times in high school before my 
sci, and 3 wonderful kids to  keep me busy.  I finished college at Wayne State 
Univ. in Detroit in '72  and came out to Arizona in '74 to escape the cold and 
seek my fortune.  I  taught high school for a few years and then worked as a 
programmer for Honeywell  for 25 years before they gave my job away to India.   
Now I'm retired  and burning up my retirement pension waiting for 65 when 
I'll have to switch  over to my 401k.  I sure hope the market turns back up so 
I 
can pump it up  a bit more b/4 I tap into it.  what happens to us in life is 
not nearly so  important as what we do about it.   Sure this whole sci thing 
sucks  and is definitely a bad deal, but what one does with the cards he is 
dealt is  what makes all the difference.  We quads are tough, no doubt about it 
- 
now  go out and prove to yourself and everyone else that it isn't the end - 
you can  still make some good lemonade out of this mess.  Congrats to you all 
for  making it as far as you have.  Success is just a whole bunch of small  
victories strung together.  Slip through those days like  I slipped  through 
May 
24th.....  I was so busy I forgot all about it being my 41st  milestone.
