You got the full and complete story. From the time I took Rosario in Oct. 2008 until Tyler's injury this past July I had three days off. Those were spent in the hospital. Since then I rediscovered fun and joy in my life. I feel physically great. My relationship with my wife and step-daughter is terrific again.

In retrospect I just don't think I had the right makeup for agenting. Maybe just a bit too OC. There's really no end to how many hours you can put into it. You can beat the books and the barns and phones 8 hours a day five days a week. Or 14 hours a day 7 days a week. I was the latter and it took it's toll. I knew I had to change but never could.

I made ALOT of money.$*** from Rosario alone in 2009 but I never found time to enjoy it. I sure make alot less now but my quality of life is 1000% better. Tomorrow is promised to nobody. There are lots of miserable rich guys out there. I refuse to become one of them.

Thanks to all of you for the well wishes.

Happy Holidays

In my humble opinion any time a man boasts about making alot of money in his career he is the fool. The ego maniac fool. Thats just on you man. It appears you are ready to settle into something like a family life with your wife, step kid etc etc but I would caution you from my own personal experience that one of the most deflating things a man can do is talk about how much money he makes to another man who makes a considerable amount less. I think, from a distance, your a great cat. Best wishes to you and yours this holiday season!

That's where I clearly made a mistake. I didn't intend to BOAST. I said that to illustrate how commited I was to taking another direction despite $$. Sorry. I'll try to be more sensitive in the future.

Be gentle with Toast.

It's not about being sensitive. I've gotten thicker skin thru the yearsthru my own mistakes. It's just the "image" that is presented. I believe your a great cat, like you care what I think lol. Just know this Vic, I made a decent living in the late 90's and boasted about it to anyone in ear shot. When I left that job, on my own faults mind you, it was a spiral down a slippery slope. In particular, when I look back at how the employees that worked their a s s off for me for pennies on the dollar of what I was making and how it made them feel, well, yuck.

Have a great Holiday Season with your family man and best wishes to you for a great 2011 and beyond!

Remember 2mins. Agenting was a second job. I'm a racecaller and hopefully always will be.
