Isn't life grand? when I think about my journey to this point in life a couple of things strike me as amazing. One of those is that I have made it this far alive. The other is how everything I have learned getting to this point actually makes my life easier and adds flavour from the experience. Many years ago in my late 20's I had a near death experience when I was electrocuted while working as a roofer because I was asked to work close to some power lines which I did in ignorance and dutifully. The experience was quite humbling . As I lay in my hospital bed in a room with two other men that had also been severely burned I couldn't even complain.
