Since 1969, well let's see, went to college (drank a lot), got married (drank less), had 4 children (couldn't afford to drink), got divorced (couldn't afford it, but drank anyway), went to work in the cruise business (drank a lot, but got paid for it), met a great woman and got re-married (drank less), cruise business went to hell (drank more), started my own entertainment company doing trivia nights in bars, pubs, restaurants (drinks are free).
Seriously, I have a great wife, 4 healthy, successful kids, 7 healthy grandchildren, a start-up, but growing business, and live in a very nice area of South Florida.

A few things stand out; 1st time walking in to Edsel Ford and being amazed at how big it was,how much older the seniors looked and acted, desperately seeking a way to fit in and be cool, Friday night dances in Thunderbird Hall aka, the cafeteria, zero hour classes, how much the girls had matured over the summer, making prank calls from the pay phone in the Senior Lounge, Big Boy's, Daly Drive-In, how much I learned from Miss Pugh and Mr. Brown, imitating Mr. Hough the day he didn't show up for class (and getting away with it for about 30 minutes), the plays and shows we were in, the incredible music of our time, and of course, the great people I got to know. It was all so simple and easy then and I don't think any of us realized it.
