I miss my dog, a beautiful Chocolate Lab, who I had to leave in Florida when I went into the hospital. I left him with a neighbor, who has disappeared off the face of the earth. May they rot in H$#L!!! Bear, my Lab, will be 13 years old this past July 6th, 2008. I Served in the USAF as a Military Working Dog Handler. Currently living Buffalo, WY. since May 2005, after spending a year and a half at the Veterans Home of WY. And 6 months at the VA Hospital in Sheridan WY, and in Denver, CO. Lived in Sheridan, WY. for years, then sold my house in 2002 and moved to Florida to be near family. Came back to WY July 2003 to enter VA Hospital in Sheridan, WY for physical, and mental health issues. I was diagnosed with a low grade glioma, which is a slow growing brain tumor, in my left cerebellum, pons, peduncle, and the medulla, along with other neurological problems (I now have titanium in my neck, and more surgery will be needed in the future.) which causes me to be fully disabled regarding work type activity. Oh well. I was born in Brooklyn NY, and I grew up on Long Island, NY. in Selden. Also attended college there, except for a brief stint at Wake Forest University. Most of my Family still lives on Long Island and in Florida. I have 2 younger brothers, both married with some great kids. One, a year younger then me, is a Detective Sargent in the Nassau County Police Department's Internal Affairs Division, and my other brother has his own financial planning company. I have a sister, and she is currently divorced again, and has 7 year old triplets, Kyle, Matthew, and Nicholas. My other nephews, and niece are Jimmy, aged 14, LK, 17 years old, and his sister Nicole, 19 years old. I like Wyoming, and Buffalo is a quiet little town, population about 4,000. I am involved in the Summer Theater Program here, sponsored by the Johnson County Arts and Humanities Council. Previous years I was a drunken ranch foreman, a sheepherder, and the town hero. This summer I will be Slats, the useful, but not too bright sidekick of the dastardly evil villain. Go figure. And I maybe moving here shortly, up to the big city of Sheridan, WY. It is closer to the VA Hospital, and with the price of gas, and living on a fixed income, it is something I have to do. That's about it for now, so take care, and stay safe. And be careful out there!
