Anything is possible." Roger that, Chris. I really like your story because it reminds me of my own father. He was an award-winning insurance salesman for Mutual of Omaha. He got so good at it they made him a manager and had him train other salesmen. You had to love his act, even when he was spouting bullshit, because he took such delight in his own performance. You've done a great job of conveying what it must be like to have to live with somebody like that. Best wishes on getting your book published. “This is America. Anything is possible.”
