This is my first novel.  Diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), aka Lou Gehrig's Disease in June of 2001, my career as a Land Surveyor began to enter the final chapter.  Living the Dream is the culmination of people, personalities and experiences that I have had the pleasure to meet and to live through in my 44 years.  Please enjoy my unique view on the world through my writing.
