Anyone in My Business


       I'm a lone wolf, unmarried, getting middle-aged, and not rich. I've been in jail more than once and i don't do divorce business. I like liquor and women and chess and a few other things. The cops don't like me too well but i know a couple i get along with. I'm a native son, born in Santa Rosa, both parents dead, no brothers or sisters, and when i get knocked off in a dark alley sometime, if it happens, as it could to anyone in my business, nobody will feel that the bottom has dropped out of his or her life.
