I am a proud Grandpa, father of four and missing New Mexico. Hopefully we will be moving back there by next summer. My wife, Erin is invaluable to me and has been a blessing.
I am a member of the Tree Apron Pro Staff. Also was just appointed to the PSE Regional Pro Staff as well as the Scent Drifter Pro Staff.
My novel (Mystical Toy Guitar), which has been called the next "Its a Wonderful Life", is currently being redone with a new cover. Should be out by October. I'll keep you informed.
Please feel free to add me to your friends list.

DAMMM, I wrote a book too! WTF ails this camospace? Anyway in short sorry to hear you had troubles and glad you'll be back!!! My back and neck is giving me hell from all the hunting I did this year, dam treestands are hard on a back!
My pain, unfortunately, was from a fall off a ten foot ladder a few years back...big reason to move back to NM...high and dry weather! Looks like this is the year we put NY in the rear view mirror!
WOW, sorry to hear that pal, one slip and bam! So you'll be goin back to NM huh? I might be huntin up in Costilla area this year if I dont draw my Montana tag for elk.
Yeah, supposed to settle with Worker's Comp...getting screwed but it will be enough to get us back there and hold us for a few years. Plus, down there I will be able to do something to earn some money. Here in NY it's all I can do to walk most days.
Ohhhhh good luck with Workers Comp! Been there done that! What is it the dryness that helps you feel better?
For years I have heard of folks going to Arizona for their arthritis. Well, when I lived in Las Cruces (4500 feet elevation and 15% average humidity) I found out why. I had some banged up joints even then. When you damage a joint, changes in atmosperic pressure affect them adversely. Add higher humidity and the aggrevation to the joinbt increases. Here in NY we have going up and down 30-35 degrees every few days, have had a lot of humidity ans it has twisted me all up. My doctor asked if I had ever thought of moving to the Southwest, as it would help me a lot. I had to laugh. I told him I moved back up here from there and couldn't wait to get back.

weapon used to get your game with and what state you took your game with also If you did get a deer this year would you
like to help with my survey? thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my good friend...
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear..
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at 'Pearl on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of 'Nam',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue... an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.."
" So go back inside," he said, "harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."
