LOOKING BACK

Last night I was watching one of the original Perry Masons on TV and I had to laugh when I  thought about how the tactics that he used in a court room could not possibly work now, hell they wouldn't have worked then. I got kind of nostalgic and even a little sad... the reason for the these feelings are..I love Mr. Mason. If I were going to call anyone Dad, it would be him This is the man that I watched as a little boy whom I most wanted to be like. He is the man who gave me my thirst for knowledge, he gave me the fire of fairness and compassion. I also learned to take notice of everything that happens around you. This keeps you from having to ask or to be told what is happening around you. This has served me well during my lifetime ( especially in my Army days), this has kept me alive on so many occasions. I thought the world that they portrayed in those old TV shows was real but eventually I grew up and discovered that things were not what they seemed. The situations were not what they seemed nor were they real. The people were not what they seemed either, but the things that I learned from the show were real. The qualities of the things I saw and learned are very real. They are still the very forces that drive me to this very day.

The way these drives have to be used in the real world s different and the out comes of some of the events are certainly different but in the end some of these outcomes can be just as good. So this is just a little info about who I am and a little insight into the way I think and some of the things that drive me. I someday will write a book about some of the various things I have seen and done. In fact much of that book may be written right here... so stick around and enjoy the ride.
