Let’s see, we’re in the bidness of selling books.
I know, let’s not stock the hottest selling book because we don’t want anyone to think we have open minds.

I am proud of my wife and family and that I made it through some very dicey times and God preserved me and kept me whole till I had to retire.  Then I survived surgery.
