I told this story to make aide last week. I may have written a blog about it over the last 5 years. If I did, oh well. It’s a story not many can say they’ve experienced. That makes it worth telling again even if I already wrote the tale. Hey, I’m turning 50 in 22 days, I’m reliving my past days. I was 23 years old.
