My grandfather Joe Tallent (on the left) was only peripherally a milk man. He could do anything. When I told him I wanted to write, he told me never to do anything else. He said that life was too short.
He looks twenty years old (on the right, here), but in spirit he looked the same age until his death at age 93.
Please never hesitate to share who you are — and who you dream of becoming.
5 years ago my dream seemed impossible yet fairly simple and straight forward. Get sober. I would daydream about the days when I had a loving partner, money in the bank, and a reason to live. I took oxy, worked 10 hours and then took more oxy until the habit spun out of control completely. I've been sober for 2 years now and I did not think this day would happen. I'm certainly glad it did and I hope it stays this way.
Anyone notice that in old timey photos men generally looked more handsome than today? Higher testosterone levels back then?
