The Dangers of the Past.

[gridlore]

I've noticed that I've fallen into one of my ruts.. I'm living in the past to much. "When I was in the Army," "When I was sick," "When I wrote Ground Forces"... I'm using things I have done before as an excuse not to do things now.

That should stop. Things are looking up again. I've got some good ideas for writing (and the line editor is asking me for help on his book!) I've got a lovely wife, a girlfriend, and now another amazing woman flirting with me (what happened? Did I turn 36 and suddenly become a sex god?) I'm relatively healthy for someone who has been what I've been through, so no more excuses!

Get to work, you slacker! Write!

I've known many special forces vets over the years and one thing I've never gotten from Doug is "Sniper Vibe."

Now those Secret Service dudes for the prez on the other hand. Something about meeting someone who duty it is to jump in FRONT of a bullet...

Hmm.. could it be that you met me tafter cancer? I changed a bit after that experience.

Probably. I think we first met at a Wed at Colleen's.

I remember this frail looking feisty opinionated SOB, who I didn't like very much.

At least one part has changed. ;)

Hope the frail part has too. With attending to 3 ladies, you need all the strength you can muster.
