Life is how we make it. Life can be enjoyable to a point where we are totally delighted or down right miserable. It was one miserable period of my life from July 1977 to about Oct 1989. Over this period of time had been married to one who gave me nothing but misery. Worked in a place where the guys hated me so much they tried to exterminate my butt. Then for a period of time felt no one gave a care. As time went on thought about what course of action should be taken. I also was given terrible news while then a few individuals showed very little in listening to me nor did they have the ability to fully grasp what was going on. Then in 1984 it all began and slowly after it took 5 years to comprehend what was going on and what course of action should be undertaken.

In May of 1984 needed hand surgery due to work. Put me out of commision for the summer but knew hey I did not need to go back to my job where the guys hated me. Then found out in July had other more serious medical difficulties. My wife at this time was not very pleased and she turned against me. It came to a head after thinking what was going on.Then took a medical retirement at 38. Gee what should be done or what other course of action should be taken. Tried to have a discussion with my then wife but she did not give me any indication in what should be undertaken. Made the decision to return back to school. Best thing that was done. To her it became troublesome while many disagreements came about. Thus decided it was my choice and needed to undertake some new things in life.

While undertaking this made choices in which we both knew were coming. Divorce was the answer and she wanted everything. Thus knew it was over. Lost all but was away from her so it was thought. I graduated in the fall of 1989 and got my BA. Hm now what? A short job offer for 9 months in Japan and it was great. She agreed to store my belongings and when I return will receive them. Fine but when I returned informed she had a bon fire and burned everything i owned. Made me very angry but hey not much could be done. Then in Dec 1990 was shot. Here was a mystery and how justice is done. The guy who did it went to the house of detention for 25 and her cousin who talked to this person received 15. She got away with probation. Yep how did I feel? Hmm well not good but hey that is how things happen.

In Feb 1991 after being healed up headed back to Asia where I have been in Taiwan and S Korea. In China for 7 years and have not been back home. Do you blame me.
