Chapter 1
One Little Pill
It all began at 1:30 in the morning on February 17, 1995. I was working at home on my computer, writing software code for a coal analysis laboratory. This was a programming gig that I picked up as a third job, just to make some extra money and to push myself a little harder. Perfectionists and workaholics are like that.
My other two jobs were full-time management positions, one in a university research department and the other as director of mapping services for a local data analysis company. Fortunately, my two offices were right down the street from each other, and my employers were great people, very flexible, and easy to work with. As you may surmise, I was an extremely busy man, typically working 80 – 90 hours per week. But I was relatively successful, fairly stable, and as content as an energetic overachiever can possibly be.
I was married with three beautiful children, and we lived happily in a large, two-story, brick home with a full basement living area. It was three floors of comfort located in the same peaceful, small town where I’d been born, and where most of my family still lived. I even made time, as often as possible, to shoot baskets or play football in the back yard with the kids and their friends. I’d never had any health problems to speak of, and had always been convinced that there was nothing I could not do, no goal I could not accomplish.
