Foreword

OY, THE YEARS GO BY FAST
now. I've been looking at it like,
between this Friday and the next
Friday, it seems like it's getting shorter and shorter. I'm using my
time right, but it's always that pursuit of happiness. There's more
happiness, but the one you're looking for, I think, stays the same
distance away.
