    About Me

    Things have turned around. I am starting to live again. I started doing this thing the other day and called it the HAD Project (Hug a Day). It helped me feel a little better so I will continue with it. You hug everyone of your friends, then move to the people in need regardless of the community. You can make up your own way to do it just try it. One thing for certain is that it helps time pass and keeps your mind distracted for a while.

    Interests

    Yes I have one. I dig her. In addition my two kids, skiing, traveling, laughing and being goofy.
