It's a great relationship when you can work with the person who you consider to be your soul mate.

So, after awhile, you can only get so much happiness from a guy who's drunk come up and tell you you're great.

My family is involved and my wife Brenda is a great, great writer. She helps me with the writing of everything and also sings with me. I owe a lot to Brenda.
