This is Scottie (who Tony referred to in his comment)......Tony's and my friend from Sioux City. We got to know him a month or so ago at the bar where we go to play pool.

He was in a terrible motorcycle accident about two years ago. He is horribly handicapped in the arms and legs. He was a semi-pro pool player and has about a 200 average in bowling.

So, needless to say, when we met him and heard his story about how much he loves pool and bowling and bikes and life, we became instant good friends. He is truly an amazing man with the most upbeat attitude on life despite the obstacles he has faced. A good life lesson for all of us.

We have a date with him in two weeks for another night of pool. We are both looking forward to it.
