This made writing my story much easier and more accurate than it might have been otherwise. I encourage everyone to do the same; recalling memories can be a rewarding experience.My story simply relates events and interactions that my journey has experienced. I feel the information might be of interest to my family and even to those who don't know me well. Hopefully you enjoy my tale and laugh without hurting yourself. I simply took advantage of my opportunities. I have tried to experience as much of the world and life as my motion sickness would allow. I am grateful to be able to tell my story. I thank all those whose have shared parts of the journey for making it what is was.The title, Write Side of the Grass, comes from my father's response to the question "How are you today?" He would reply that he was on the right side of the grass. I torqued his expression to include this narrative, (writing) about my present situation, also while on the sunny side of life. Enjoy with vigor!
