My name is John Guess. Im married to the best person I know, Denise. In 25 years shes never much asked me to go to events with her...if I went, fine, if not, that was ok as well. This morning early, she asked me to go to a wedding with her. She really wanted me to go, not like her at all. For most of our life together, my creativity was limited only by my imagination, which often spelled uh-oh for her...so when she asked, I felt obligated. My unpredictability over the years are what makes for all this great story telling. A little over forty years ago, the circus came into my life, and with all the promises of thrills and spills, I had to join up. Theres way too much to cover here, but it is suffice to say that in the last few years, the circus pulled up to the edge of town, and like a once-great athlete past his prime, it was time to give up the midway, and I retired from my life that for four decades was indeed a circus. At the previously mentioned wedding today, numerous people, most of which years ago wouldnt have known me from a Tazmanian Cossack, told me repeatedly what a good writer I am, and how much they enjoy, and look forward to reading my post.....and of course, how I should write a book. Go in Wal-Mart, less than 10 minutes, two people tell me the same. Ive truly been fortunate, to have lived a life that does indeed resemble a circus, that has for the most part been fun-filled and action packed. I have a great recollection of all those stories and times. True. That does not qualify me to be a writer. I was at one time a hated person in my own community. While not a criminal per se, at least an outlaw. The only difference in now and then, is all the ones that hated me have passed on, I just managed to out-live em. And, still, ocassionally, I catch some flak from some group of youngsters whove grown up hearing these tall tales, and decide to question my ability to still walk the walk, and talk the talk....and I have to take em to school. My time has passed. I hung in longer than most. But, final word....Im done. Besides, the best stories I could EVER tell I cant tell on FB......and the best pics I could EVER show, I cant post on FB. I got a long-time, I mean a LONG-time project I gotta get outta the way.....gottta plan for the 22nd Annual Guess Family Crawfish Extravaganza.....and I gotta take care of my precious Denise....gotta get her through these hurdles that lay before her....get her back to her Juicy-D personna.....and besides, Ive done explained it to those advance folks, Im too damn lazy to write...I get distracted to easy....plus, I aint smart enough. Ahhh, but those stories.....I do live in those times.........
