For the past 30 years, my real job was as an musician/singer/entertainer - best job I ever had! Prior to then, it was just a part-time job, weekends only (Have guitar will travel). At the same time, I was working in many other fields, cardio-pulmonary medicine, sporting goods store owner, state police, freelance outdoor writer, NASA Project Mercury, and other jobs I would rather forget about. I tried to cram as much life into my 80 years on the planet as I could without killing myself in the process. And, I damned near accomplished the killing myself part a couple times. Got broadsided on I-95 at 70 MPH while driving my full size Chevy van to a job. Also jumped off a 700-foot high sand dune at Kitty Hawk, NC hanging onto a hang glider - I was the second oldest guy in the nation to obtain his Hang Gliding Certificate at Kitty Hawk Kites. I later found out that several people in California lost their lives doing this. Scary!

Just another fun day in Paradise,

Gary
