Mike, we are living in a rapidly changing world that is full of negative events, duplicity, and influencers, whatever that is. Lots of people read this and respect its content and flavor, even if it runs counter to their best interests. As best I can tell you've pretty well done it all, had a great work life, and then, lo and behold, you discovered that you also write well. I doubt there's another soul on the planet who had these experiences, combined with passionate feelings, and the ability to express it on paper to the extent that readers feel they're in the moment with you. I hope you're putting this into a book, complete with photos. The stories are terrific, full of adventure and all sorts of emotions and drama. I still see the picture of Chigger's nitroglycerine disaster, so the photos tell a vivid story too. You're one of a kind. Don't half-ass your gift.
