I refuse to tiptoe through life, only to arrive safely at death.

About Me

Ok, not real sure what to put here. I'm easy going, and can get along with just about anybody. I've been divorced since 1994, and have two grown kids, Christina and Justin. Christina is married to John, and they live near Metropolis. They both work in Paducah, she's a Surgical Tech, and he drives for Conway Transportation. Justin is a heavy equipment operator at Peabody's Black Beauty mine, in Equality. I got him on two days after he graduated high schoool, and he likes it. He lives in Raleigh.I'm an underground coal miner, at Peabody's Willow Lake Mine. When I'm not working I enjoy motorcycles. I like riding them, painting them, maintaining them, just about all of it. Also like to boat on the river. Don't currently own one, but the next best thing to owning a boat, is having a friend who owns one. Thanks Joe.Not much more to say. I live in the hills of So.Illinois, and love it here. I like a simple life without drama, and that's pretty much how I live. I like to laugh and joke around, and usually get on somebody's nerves, if they don't have a sense of humor. May get on their nerves if they do. That's pretty much it.

The fortune teller told me nothing, that I wouldn't have found out on my own, she read my palm and she took my money, she looked at me with eyes of stone, said the odds are long and stacked against you, but still you try for what you must, to keep from leaving your senses, long forgotten in the dust...James McMurtry

If a ram is a sheep, and an ass is a donkey, how come a ram in the ass is a goose?
