Everytime I happen to see one of these pictures, yes there are other poses, I look at the confidence on that young boy’s face and I wonder, ‘Where did you go, little man? Then I realize he just grew up but he’s still here. He still gets the things done that he says he’s going to do. There’s just a lot more people that depend on him now. As you read or listen to some of the things that are to be posted here in the future, you’ll get to know the boy and the man a lot better. I’ll do my best not to bore you. There’s been a lot of miles traveled between these two pictures and a lot of lessons learned. Most by way of hard knocks. If you’d like to meet some of the people I’ve known and hear some of the stories they had to tell; this is a good place to stop by.
