This book covers my life from January 2006 (age 55) through December 2014 (age 64). I worked for a pension company until the middle of 2012 when I was laid off. The company went out of business. At that time my wife had a stroke and her kidneys failed. I learned that I had thyroid cancer, and I had my thyroid removed. I enrolled in a massage course and became a licensed massage therapist. Then I quit Massage Envy and continued my two part time jobs, tutoring an 8th grader in all his subjects, and being the martial arts private instructor for a retired fireman.
