Everyone should write their own biography if they live at least three quarters of a century. That's what I have done. To make it worthwhile to you and your readers you must make it honest and accurate, but of course you can make all the excuses you want for the way things went. If you are honest, chances are you will be explaining why things didn't go quite as you planned. Like me, you may start out trying to tell how great you were, but then (if you are honest) you will begin to tell it like it really was. When that happens, your story just might be interesting enough for others to read. Regardless whether it is or not, it will be a cathartic experience and you will come to know your true self before you die. That's important.

I've struggled with a title for my story and I'm not sure I have the right one yet. My first choice was "A Final Report," but my son George said that was too morbid. So I thought about something related to horses (a major theme in my life), but then I realized that my interests and activities touched on much more than horses. So, it's simply "My Slices of Life."

I hope you enjoy the story of my life as much as I have enjoyed living it. But I'm not through yet because I have several slices to go.
