Michael's Story
My current age is 50. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be old. I was so completely wrong.
My best friend would tell you I'm smart, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as dumb.
I share my home with my cat, Tiger, which I find amusing.
In 10 years, I hope to be moving. I'm going to get there by hitting the lottery.
My first job was at Market Basket, where I got paid $2.10/Hr to bag and chase carts. What I remember most about it is was half my friends worked there too.
I once took a trip to Montana. Stayed from Aug. 1990 to Oct. 1990. Did some roofing work while I was there. One hot day in Oct.

"The Eagles".Then he asked me if I ever heard of Glen Frey? I said, Yah I've heard of him. Then he looked at the bar tender, and chuckled. I didn't know why.It wasn't until he left and the bartender told me, That,that was Glen Frey to whom I was talking. I felt like a fool. But, people look much differant in person than on TV or Photos. Any way, It was becuase of that conversation we had that moved him to get the Band back together for the HELL FREZZES OVER TOUR. And, They're still touring to this day. If anyone out there gets the chance to talk to him, Please, Let him know about this story. I'm Sure he'll be glad you did. Also, note that Glen and Don Henley record under each-others NAME. The Glen I talked to was THE GLEN FREY who records as DON HENLEY.
