Wendy, Tom
I hope you don’r mind the co-email. You are the 2 consiglieri did me a real service
Dood. You’re of the hook… Don’t create a mythical pair of shoes that you can’t fill.
You get to decide. these things are very personal. and our selection perhaps reveals more about us than anything; so i’m out.Image removed by sender.
Tom, do I remember on your April 2007 Roger Lyle GSX-R you had a sponsorship sticker for a mental health professional? Wendy, you already know that i’ve got the bi-polar ways. My shrink said on Tues “Sometime you can make life exciting and sometimes it just is.” Esp when on a manic jag, which i wouldn’t rule out having been in play for the past year.
Altho I feel a bit foolish and defensive, comments like both of yours help me with some perspective and grounding. Not to worry I reckon, as this awkward 5 seconds of “fame” will soon pass.
Thank you
Sincerely
Justin
