Gonners

There are five types of Gonners.

1. Those that know everything.

2. Those that think they know everything.

3. Those that wish they knew everything.

4. Those that do not want to know anything at all.

5. Those that have passed on from this life and are not with us anymore

The Quote I love

Theodore Roosevelt

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Guam and ALS

True life stories in the Hood

I grew up on the south side of Cheyenne in what was call "Black Addition" Named after Tom Black senior who built FHA homes. I lived at 708 West Jefferson. My neighborhood was a multi-cultural mix of different people.
Spanish, Mexican, Greek, Japanese,Chinese, Korean, African American, Dutch, and many other ethnic groups.

Wyoming History and all....

Before I left Cheyenne Wyoming and moved to Nebraska I was able to attend every Frontier Day's from

1957 thru 1966 and then 1983 thru 1995 when I wound up in Taos New Mexico

Lou Gehrig

On July 27th 2010 I was diagnosed with ALS I will keep you posted on my progress...

Update Saturday August 14 2010.... The first signs of my ALS starter around 3 years ago. I started to notice some muscle twitching in my arms. At first I thought it was just something that would come and go. A year later I had my first EMG test at the VA hospital in Albquerque New Mexico. The results came back normal,at that point and the also took a blood test and it came back nornal also... A year later the twitching had become worse and so I had a seconf EMG. I had a total of 4 EMG test befor the gave me the news that I had ALS or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.. Well such is life and now the work begins!!!
