There are very few jobs in which you could make more than
I was making at the height of my career.


Then you must have made some really bad decisions, based on
your complaints about your present life and finances.

I happen to know a few other people who have suffered
crippling accidents. Financial and psychological devastation
is the rule and the mere fact that Tom is able to compose in
English and plunk a keyboard at all is miraculous. Even
without brain injury, a year or two horizontal ruins lives
more often than not.


Ping Tom -- when did you have your concussion, and which fall caused it? I was never clear on that.

I know Tom had several fork failures, but then he had a succession of crashes -- I recall he hit a wall at 25mph, but I don't know if that was a fork failure. I thought all this misfortunes were post-retirement. I'm telling you, retirement is dangerous. Don't do it Muzi!
