biker bars in Miami & Hollywood Florida, and plain ol' stupid "hold my beer and watch *THIS SHIT*", it's a wonder I'm still alive! I've been cut, stabbed, shot, & had bar stools and pool cues broken over my head and back.

Those days are long passed though. Now, I am just trying to live out my days as a peaceful old hippie, tucked away in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee.

Congratulations to you, Warren, and keep up the good fight against the bottle!

Peace,

Ghost
