Dave,

Thanks for listening. I have found that one of the best things for me is to talk about what is going on and to also write. I have come to find that I am a good writer, and when I can calm myself down and spit out the demons, I do alright. I have known I have had problems for many years, but just tried to hide them. Much to my surprise (not) they are back to haunt me. I could stay locked in my own world, but I want and need to start a family. I have done a great job of dealing with the lonliness in the past by being alone, but now its time to come out of my shell and start living. I am with a great girl now, but we are on the rocks. I want her to stick with me and have asked her to stay but that decision is up to her. I guess time will tell. I will read your paper tonight and I have attached a story I wrote a while back. Its a brief synopsis of my life story. It only took me @2 hours to write with no stopping. I hope you get a chance to read it. Thanks again.

Mike
