Many of my friends and family have tried pressuring me into writing my autobiography but I keep turning down the idea, probably because 95% of the people who don't know me would think it fiction. I lived it, and when I see it written down on paper, even I have trouble believing it!
But now that I'm a grandpa, and realizing that I'll really never get to know my grandkids, I may just take my box of photos and do something for them. I never really knew my grandfathers and often wondered what their lives had been like. Unfortunately, I had one ex-wife who insisted that I throw away a lot of photos that were taken on expeditions and vacations with a previous wife, so there is a 10-year gap in the time-line. It's an idea for another day...but as Robert Frost wrote;
"Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
