My Left Nut

Bill E.

Location: ABQ, New Mexico, USA
Birthday: June 28

Title: Director
Company: melaleuca.com

Bio: Former TV weatherman, copier salesman, mortgage seller (no, it's not my fault), shoe salesman, bartender, cloud-seeder, writer, blackjack/craps dealer. California kid or, as some like to say, 'Native Son of the Golden West.' Reared in bucolic Santa Rosa along the banks of the S.R. Creek and a walnut orchard that separated the crick from our house. I was on the high school swim team (not very good). I attended Santa Rosa Jr. College and Sonoma State until my education was interrupted by the draft. So it was the Air Force and eventually Penn State and a career in TV until that dissipated. Messed around with the above odd jobs ending with the blackjack thing and then now - edgy retirement.

Overheard at a 12-step meeting today: "For years I'd say, 'I'd give my left nut for that house, I'd give my left nut for that car or I'd give my left nut for that woman. Then a few years later I was diagnosed with testicular cancer - and lost my left nut!' "

Bill, how are you doing? You were one of my first writers that I "met" here on OpenSalon. I don't hear much from you and so when I see you on OpenSalon I am delighted. I hope you are doing well.
