Holey Moley... serious stuff. Got no walls per se, just different sides. No one person gets to see them all, as they lack perspective and I'm big and multidimensional.
Back to my share... In the course of 3 years (2006-2009), several close relatives passed away, some suddenly, some not, my marriage went into a death spiral, major health problems ensued and my work life left me no time to deal with ANY of that personal stuff. Some have suggested that I made the choice to let my work life overtake my personal life... may be a little truth to that, but not as much as they think.

Ya know what? Life doesn't let you put too much personal stuff on the backburner for long, now does it? Eventually, if you leave it simmering on the backburner long enough the liquid goes away and it'll start burning.... if you pay attention and smell the smoke, you can prevent a fire. If you don't eventually it'll catch fire.... and fire catches your attention... or at least it should. In my case, it caught fire at the end of Summer 2010. Fortunately, didn't burn the house down, just gutted the kitchen. Gotta give props to my "firefighters" that came to aid me.

The kitchen needed remodeling anyway, it was old and outdated and many things no longer worked properly.....and so remodeling began... in earnest the Winter of 2010 and the renovation continues.....

Wow Clint! There is some deep stuff on this website. This is my first time visiting.

I guess I'm still waiting for that moment of clarity. I hope it doesn't come too late!

Your Buddy,
Mikey

I am enjoying your blogs. and love what you wrote about yourself. Ive known you 27 years?? is that possible? and I feel like I am seeing you for the first time in so many ways. thanks for being so honest and open. What you wrote about the incubator moved me so much. must have been so terrifying.

thanks Clint.
