Bests
Best advice given to me: Date as many girls as you can before you get married. Once you're married, those days are gone. (Mother's advice kept me single till I was almost 29 yrs old. It paid off because I have the best wife in the world with no regrets.)
My life Motto: "Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind."

An interesting fact about me: I dressed up in drag my first Halloween at Southwest Airlines. (I was rather striking if I might add)
