I was offered an internship, but I was just getting ready to get out of the Navy and was married to my first mistake, I mean, wife. So I needed a paying job. I kick myself now because I was divorced a year later and had reenlisted in the Navy.

But life has a way of giving you what you need when you need it. I have been very happily married to my second wife going on 20 years and have 2 awesome kids to show for it. And I retired from the Navy, so I get a pension. Don't have to worry about money. It's all good. 

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
