Back In The Dave

When I hear story's about what men and women have gone through for love. I find it amazing! I once stalked a Bed Bath and Beyond employee to ask her out on a date.

My wife Maggie joins me! Together, we tell our heartwarming story of how we met. You won't believe what I did just to meet her!

Death has been at the forefront of my life since childhood. The first time I remember experiencing death was discovering our dog Rusty at the bottom of our backyard stairwell.

A few years later it was my brother, then my dad, then several friends, then my grandmother, then my sister. Finally, in 2007 I had had enough. I decided to study and research death.

Oddly enough. Many of the answers I was seeking were standing in front of me all of my life. In my grandfather Big Daddy!

When I think back on my first sexual experience. I often put myself in the same boat as some women. It was horrible! Yet, it made me realize two important things in life.

On Christmas Eve in 1972, my siblings and I woke up in the middle of the night only to find that we were home alone. To our surprise, upon walking into the living room, the Christmas tree was all lit up and smelled of fresh pine and it happened to be snowing outside! What we did next almost ruined our Christmas!

30yrs ago during the week of December 4th, 1988 country singer Roy Orbison and my dad both suffered massive heart attacks. The world lost Roy, my dad survived but lost 85% of his heart muscle. The two outcomes amazed me! My perception of the events and what I learned over the years, opened my eyes and changed my life.

Falling is hardly a great experience. Unlike most adults, I recall taking many a “dives” to the concrete and laughing about it! Kids on the other hand! Try and stop them from laughing if they see you fall.

Back in The Day. The holiday season was always the best! Getting together with my grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles and of course my parents, brings back memories, music and emotions of some of the happiest times of my life.This holiday season. I want to share a special Thanksgiving with you. Thanksgiving day 1974.

Through out a good part of my adult life. I've been feeling a certain kind of way. I never truly understood it, but While doing yoga. A "deep dark" feeling hit me in my body, right into my heart. So deep, and so painful. It scared me! I have to share this with you. 

Fishing was a staple in the Knight family from as early on as I can remember. Eating the fresh catch of the day while playing at the kitchen table was simple childhood fun until the unthinkable happened. Of course, it just had to happen to me! 

Every kid dream back in the day was to get a 10-speed bike. I was no different! But how was I suppose to know my bike would land me in the hospital and on my butt!
