GLORY BE TO THE ONE THAT CAN READ THIS BOOK, AND MAKE SENSE OUT OF IT.
BECAUSE AFTER MY BIRTH, CAME NOTHING BUT FAILURE IN THE THINGS THAT I TRIED TO DO. UP UNTO THIS POINT IN MY LIFE. DRIVING A CAB WAS MY LAST TRADE IN THE FIELD, AND NOW THAT I’VE LIVED OVER HALF OF MY LIFE, AND UP IN AGE NOW. I AM STILL NOTHING, BUT MORE OF THE SAME. I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP, WHEN A VOICE FROM A BEAUTIFUL FEMALE, WHISPERED INTO MY EARS, AND SAID YOU ORDER RIGHT A BOOK. AND BEING A WEAK MAN LIKE I AM, I SAID YES TO HER. KNOWING ALL THE TIME, THAT I AM A MAN THAT LIKES TO KEEP MY WORD, WHEN I GIVE IT. SO NOW HERE I AM WRITING A BOOK, WITH NOT EVEN A CLUE IN HOW IT’S TO BE DONE. SO I WOULD LIKE THE READERS OF THIS BOOK TO GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK, AND TRUE OPINION, ON WHAT DO YOU THINK?. - WHEN THE READING IS DONE.

CHAPTER 1
In the year 1985 I had just left the state of Texas and was in Jacksonville Florida living the good life while working at Cisco as a subcontractor, I had my own apartment, I was paying three hundred sixty five dollars a month with central air and central heat. But while I was waiting on my next job not knowing where it would take me. Working at Cisco I knew that my next job could be anywhere, because we gets to travel a lot from city to city. We lived in nice motels and meet different people on every job, that’s why I was so excited waiting on my next job to come. But it wasn’t long when I got a phone call from my supervisor asking me if I would like to go to Boston Massachusetts for 6 weeks, to help repair a Navy ship, I said no it’s too cold there, but my supervisor convinced me that the weather at that time had been good.
So I took his advice and said to him if he would find someone to ride with me; I would take that drive, I didn’t think he would find someone, but I was wrong, he called me back in 20 min. and told me that he had a man that is a welder and he would take the drive with me. So I had to honor my word, I said ok so I gassed up my old 69 Buick checked the oil and everything, and we got right on the road to Boston. It took us about two days and two nights. But when we got to Boston, the very next two days snow had begun to fall and cold weather came in at the same time. I wanted to turn around right then, but it was too late because we were already here. There were eight other guys that took an airplane they were here also and waiting on me, So we got settled in. But the very next day the instructor came and took us to a shipyard called general shipyard in East Boston. There was the Navy ship that we had to repair. I was at that time a first class welder making good money.
We were staying in a little town outside of Boston, call Lynn Massachusetts, at the Town Line Inn. I didn’t like it too much, because there was too many people sleeping in one room. but the company was paying, so I had no complaints. Anyway after being there for a week or two things change. Some of the workers and myself went out to a nightclub call Unity, in Dorchester Ma. I met a lovely good looking lady that night. She was fine as she could be, but the funny thing is after that night with her I had forgotten about how cold it were, All I could think about then is would I ever see her again.
But I didn’t have to thank to long because she called me the very next day and asked me If I could come over and pick her up from her house? I had given her my phone number the night before, so with no hesitation at all I said yes, I was glad she called. So I went right over to her house it was very nice and peaceful there with her and her little daughter which was about fourteen years old, so we went out to eat that night and after that we just drove around the city looking at different sites. I was just trying to learn a little bit more about the city of Boston. I really enjoyed being with her, but it was getting late and I had to go to work the next day and she did too, so we had to end it, but then she suggested that I should just stay at her house since it was so late, so I said yes because i really wanted to be with her anyway and I could tell that she was feeling me also, so I stayed there and made love to her the rest of that night, knowing that she and i, had to go to work the very next day.
She worked at New England Insurance Deportment as one of their top agents, but never the less we made it to work the next day. After that night of being together she ask me if I would move in with her, instead of going back to that motel and sleeping with three or four
