Hi hon. There were many reasons, really. I'm a bit of a libertarian at heart, so some of the things I had to do in LE didn't sit well; I didn't like to bust people over what I considered "trivia". Mostly though, it was because I got divorced and found myself alone with a 2 year old son. I felt that, because of LE being an "on duty any time" job, and stresful besides, that it wasn't compatible with being the best single-father I could be. I chose to leave my LE career and find something lower-stress with more normal days and hours, so that I could devote myself to raising my child and giving him that most important gift a parent can give: TIME.

DO not worry about the b-day. That is insignificant to me, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I am over 40.

Ive'never tried it. I owe you an e-mail, don't I?

Oh, uh I'm sure for the best then. hopefully

Did you guys separate?

You know I have met a few people I originally met on the Internet. So far they have always been positive. So you never know.

Happy New Year, how are you? How is you know who?

Hi! My Christmas was very nice, thank you.... almost exactly what I posted in the thread about how do you celebrate christmas I hope yours was good as well.

My wife took me diving in the Key's for my b-day. Some really great diving to be had there. At some point I am going to go down and do some diving with Riverrat.

Awww, thanks. I am really bad about taking pictures and then taking forever to download them. Both my kids were in the Veteran's Day parade here (JROTC) and I still haven't gotten those pics off my camera. I am so lazy. :3oops:

Thanks for the welcome.

Good morning! You had asked how old my Labrador is - in the picture I posted he was about 8 months old. He's now almost 4. I'll have to get a more recent picture of him. Time flies... Have a wonderful Sunday.

My last dive in Key Largo.

Yes..good guess. It was contributing to a ulcer on the side of my foot that i had been dealing with for several months. They opened it up and smoothed off the bottom of the bone. I am very glad it is done and gone.

thanks. you're so kind.

Thank you very much...I'm doing much better. I got immediate releif after the surgery. I am in much better shape and will be back at it 100% in about two weeks.
