And now the end is near So I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full I've traveled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few But then again, too few to mention I did what I had to do And saw it through without exception
I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you know That I bit off more than I could chew But through it all when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all and I stood tall And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing And now as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way Oh, no, no not me I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got If not himself, then he has not To say the words he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way

T.:: Ah, yes, I remember my good old single days, when I could do things my way but they're over now, and CalE. wants me to go back into the cat fighintg ring. I must begin my workou because I have five WACO belts to defend.
C.: Well, I have the day off from work at The Kennel, and Tucker’s busy training, so I have some time to read. d.c. added a preface to THE MAGRUDER MYSTERIES A FULL PARDON: A GRAYING OF THE LAW. I think it makes more sense now. He also added onto the end. Even though it’s the fourth of five books in this series, I think this might be the most important one, because it answers almost all the questions I had after reading the first three manuscripts. I hope the first one gets published soon, so y’all can see what I’m talking about.
PREFACE
As Mark Joliet settled into his chair behind the governor’s desk, there was a knock at his door. Perturbed, Mark didn’t answer the door immediately. That, apparently, didn’t deter the person who was knocking. He opened the door and made himself comfortable in one of the chairs in the office that were, supposedly for visitors, but, in reality, just for looks. The strange man sat down and gave the new governor of Texas a grim smile. “May I help you?” Mark Joliet was a busy man, and this interruption would make him late to begin his work day.
“I believe you're the one who will be helped, my friend,” the man was cool and confident. He crossed one leg over the other, indicating that he was in no hurry to leave. This irritated the former CIA agent immeasurably.
“Look, I don’t know how you got in here, but I have a busy day. I’m the focus of the government of the most populous state in the union, so I have a lot to do…”
“This will be first on your list, then. I have a story that will hold your interest to the end. It involves you, your friend Jay Magruder, and the most wanted criminal on the face of the earth, as well as the best trained sniper the world has to offer.” The man sat back in his chair and smiled, as Mark picked up his phone and told his assistant to hold all his calls for the morning hours.
“Okay, you have my attention, but I have a lunch date that I cannot miss…”
“Well, then, I must begin my story promptly…” The strange man then began his story with a quote from Benjamin Franklin.
Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are— Benjamin Franklin.
