Life in middle America. A world where people go to work every day ... at a job they either love ... or don't. A place where people take care of their kids, make dinner, do laundry, and go grocery shopping. A place where we pay the bills, fill the tank, vacuum the rug and clean the house. And perhaps the best part -- a place where we laugh, and play, and love.
I came into this world with nothing and I suppose I'll go out that way, as well. My father always used to tell us kids "No one owes you a thing in this life. You need to make your life. Go out and get it."
A lifetime of lessons in a few short words.
I know I'll never win the lottery. I know I'll never be living the life of the rich and famous. But I do know what I have. And I do know who I am. I'll take that ... and wherever that takes me ... for now.
The view from my place in middle America should provide some moments of laughter, tears, anger, and truth. I hope you enjoy the ride.
