please xcuse me for being somewhat self congratulatory in the following writing but i did want to document some of my family's actions:
my family, on my mother's Sexton side especially, have a way with endurance trait seems pretty extraordinary at times. examples:
- my grand father Pa (Kenneth Sexton) worked in Pennsylvanian coal mines for over 30 years, maybe closer to 40. he smoked cigars for years. he also sang into his 80s in public, well (unlike say Sinatra).
- my mother has had Multiple sclerosis for about 40 years now. employed for most of that time. she was only starting to show signs after about the 25th. she's become worse but even after a stroke, she still talks a lot,, can still enjoy many education programs
- some of my "achievements": have out ate guys twice my size, can walk forever, stay awake forever, watch cable forever, scr-w forever, some athletics, have actually lived in weather extremes like freezing cold, desert summer heat, desert wind storms, exercised in highest humidity.
