Finished project in '96 ... business partner introduced me to Amy ... invited her to Rome 3 weeks later (courtesy of Aegon Ins.) ... she turned me down ... friend told her she was a horse's ass for turning down a free trip to Rome ... she changed her mind ... had a great time ... got married in '97.

1999-2004: Maintaining a business became too much of a hassle so I went back to work for Swales Aerospace. I don't think I played more than 5 rounds of golf during those 2 years ... what was I thinking?
