Well, since my last posting ....my daughter is now 24yr Registered Nurse just like wifey. My son 22yr...1 more year of college.
I am almost home free. Feels like the third base now. I am just waiting for my time to do my run. 
Happy everyone is well. We should remember Russ Wolfe. |

42 years old
I write songs and perform live, have been for the last 22 years. I own a small production company and I license some of my stuff to bigger labels.
In the last 3 years I fortuitously stumbled into something completely different. My brother and I started a vape shop that rapidly turned into a 5 stores mini-chain. We also run a small E-juice production company. I'm only a shareholder, so I don't work there per se but it is funny to play "business owners" and "board meetings"... Using buzz words like "vertical integration" "workflow efficiency" and all that stuff as if we know what we are doing
I also spend way too much time on The Samba, reading about total strangers' ignition problems or displacement dillemas, thus dramatically delaying my response times to important e-mails and calls... I am a true professional |
