Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Yeah He did.....I don't know how many of You have been keeping in Touch with Dana...but this last Weekend....Dana went to a Christmas Party...indulged a bit too much in the Christmas Spirits...was walking Home in the Subzero temperatures of Upper Michigan...fell down...could not get  back up....because He was too inebriated....passed out....was about dead when three passersby found Him...and woke Him...and got Him to the House....where He is still recovering from Hypothermia....and Frostbite....He is lucky to still be alive today...if it weren't for the Tree People that found Him...He would have laid there Drunk ...and froze to Death...Well He had an Eyeopener that evening...and Has decided that Life is too precious to waste like His Father did...So He is trying hard ...Day by Day to stay Sober....attend AA Meetings...and get His Life back...so please if you can....give Him a Good Word....He really needs it....

I was at Twin Oaks walking around with a pocket full of gizmos and walked by Dana's truck piled high with bow staves. I didn't know him but thought anybody with that much wood surely needed a gizmo. I walked up, introduced myself, explained to him how a gizmo worked and gave him one. He reached into his quiver and handed me the most beautiful goose fletched cane arrow I have ever seen. I tried to turn it down as I had about 5 minutes in making the gizmo and he had hours in making the arrow but he insisted.

Super nice guy,I always hated it that the demons had a tight grip on him but having been there, I knew he was the only one who could loosen their grip. Hope he makes it this time.

That looks like a well made arrow.  I hope your friend Dana, can overcome the devil, seen to many good men reduced to rubble from that particular demon.

Mike I been trying to think of something apropriate to say and all I can come up with is that when you talk to Dana tell him that I wish him all the strength and determination that he will need to get his life back. Ronnie
P. S. Dang nice arrow I'm envious.
