Every decent person has a human side that eventually overwhelmingly
prevails. Mickey don't worry about it.
Here's a piece that I posted on LVA Sports because all the critics
were always busy trying to find something about me that was just
plain bad. But because I'm a very happy family man and always have
been--and because I'm financially set for life as a result of astute
planning and successful video poker play--the one or two glitches
I've had in my lifetime are meaningless now. That, however, doesn't
sit very well with some, as anyone can readily tell right here when
the psychos start getting irritated with my gambling success and the
fact that I've never been divorced, childless, or even pet-less. So
even though some of you read/post over on LVA under other names,
learn more of the truth about me and stop wondering.....
