Ever decide to change your life 180 degrees?

Almost 10 yrs ago I had to make a change...the wife divorced me, took the house, the kids, most of my paycheck, etc. I went to school after cashing out my 401K and six months later started the job I had wanted to do since I was 6. I made the leap from Lab Tech @ $9.oo an hr. to patrolman @ $13.75 an hr, met and married a good woman, had a good boy with her and just celebrated my 8th yr with her. Life throws you some curves but they aren't all going to be strikes.
