Just An Old Guy
Keeping Busy
I started in web promotions, and it's a long story, but I'll keep it brief. I am a bowler, and for a short time in the 1980s, I competed on the PBA National Tour.
Knee Injury
Unfortunately for me, or maybe fortunately, a knee injury took me off the tour. It might have been a blessing in disguise because, in hindsight, I wasn't good enough to make enough money to retire on. So I was forced to go back to a regular job and earn three retirement checks.Still Bowled
I continued to compete on the PBA Regional Tour before retiring and opening several Bowling Pro Shops in Reno and Sparks, NV.
Knee Problems (Again)
About In 1993, my left knee (the sliding one) started to give out. After three bowling games, I couldn't bowl for 2-3 days because of the pain.It was a major concern because if I could no longer bowl, I wondered how I would keep myself occupied.
Selling On the Internet
This It was about the time when the internet was being developed, and it was becoming THE place to market and sell opportunities and products, as long as you had a website. It knew how to get it listed in the search engines back then.Not the case nowdays because Googe is the dominate search engine noowdays and only big companies with big bucks can get a igh listing.
101 Dumb Blonde Jokes
And thus began my journey to learn how to build websites and promote them on the internet.My first complete website was Hartfelt's 101 Dumb Blonde Jokes, which I wrote about in 1999. It is still online, but I haven't updated it lately.
Still Involved In Bowling
Just not as a bowler. Injuries and old age have ended my bowling days, but I still drill bowling balls and give lessons. My new passion is writing. I now have two published eBook novels, part of a book series called Odyssey's Journeys. Both are on Amazon, The Mars Decision & The Edge of Exinction. You can read previews of them on my website - Xenara eBooks.
A Little Humor
But I have a humor section for this website. Why? Just because I want it. It's mostly about Men vs Women, Men & Dogs, and Weird and Ugly airplanes of the world.
I'll add a few more when I get the urge.
Not Saying A Thing
Aliens In Nevada
A few years ago, we stopped for gas on the way back from a bowling tournament in Las Vegas, and I noticed this sign.
I took it as proof that aliens do exist.
Whether or not they come in peace, I can't say, since I didn't investigate further.
My friends did so, but they refused to divulge any details.
