Laughing In The Face of Death
Have you ever seen one of those old timey, black and white photos of those circus strongmen? Well, that was my Dad. In his youth he was a bodybuilder, a true mountain of man. If his muscles and mustache weren’t taking up half the room, then his personality was. A real “eat lightning and crap thunder” kind of guy. The only thing that changed when he got to his 50s was that he’d gotten a pot belly, but I swear if you looked close enough at it, you’d see it sprouting abs. Now, at this point you should probably be picturing Tom Selleck’s face on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s body, and if you aren’t intimidated by that mere image alone, then you’re clearly not thinking hard enough. He was a tank in every sense of the word, tough as nails, hard as a rock. In my eyes, he was invincible. He was Superman. I mean, how do you beat someone like that?... we were all asking ourselves the same thing when he got diagnosed with cancer. The answer: from the inside.

Counting Peaches
Being a park ranger means dealing with a lot of monotony, but I don’t mind it one bit. In fact I prefer it. The secluded life in the woods far away from all the noise, hustle, and bustle of the city is worth it. For a lot of people it’s the isolation that keeps them away from the job, but I’ve found that it helps to have a tight schedule, something to focus on. On my first day I didn’t think I’d last a week, but after a few days I settled into a routine. It’s the only thing that keeps me sane.
