If you are no longer in Tucson, how often do you get back here?
After high school I attended Pima college, but dropped out.
I married a cute young girl named Jude, and worked in Michigan for a few months, and hated Michigan.
I moved back to AZ - Phoenix and attended DeVry Inst. and later started a recording studio and a circuit board mfg company.
I divorced Jude after 7 years, and moved to the desert where I lived without water or electricity in a travel trailer. I loved it! I was all into the natural man, and spent my days getting high, and jogging through the desert bare foot. Then I met "John the Dancer", I became a barfly, and a really great dancer.
That's how I met and married Mya. She showed me Chico Ca where she had gone to college. We moved here, and I built a house. It was my first, but I felt like I knew what I was doing.
She was a nurse and I became a prominent leader in our community. The California Dept of Forestry approached me, and asked for my help to start a rural fire department. After recruiting so many others I felt an obligation to join the fire company too. I became an EMT and spent 7 years in the fire company #26. I spent two years as a captain and 2 years as assistant chief. I also became a medical training officer for CDF
After 18 years together, I divorced Mya when I hit male menopause. I hear she's happy and traveling the world.
I'm now a semi retired general contractor, with arthritis, but I recently lost 38 pounds over a five month period! I went from 205 to 167 without exercise or hunger. I've lowered my blood pressure, and feel 10 to 15 years younger. All I did was replace the booze and carbohydrates with low glycemic index organic foods . I want to tell everyone how to be healthy. I'm married for the third time to a beautiful lady named Toni.
I've became a self taught expert market analyst, and wrote analytic program code for other traders around the world, but now I spend my days gardening and advocating politically correct movements such as the Coffee Party. women's rights, and labeling of GMO food.
I still Blog and Twitter my market forecasts occasionally, but I quit writing code and enjoy playing in my garden.

It's been a great adventure. I still feel like there is more to do, but if I died tomorrow I'd have to say I loved it!
