Why save your kisses for a rainy day? Baby, let the moment take your heart away.

About Me

I've had the honor of watching my three children grow into amazing young adults, whom I respect and admire. I have a younger stepson who is as adorable and gentle-hearted as they come. I'm spoken for, and don't cheat, so don't bother asking.

I am also a writer, currently working on a five-book fiction series. I love music/movie/TV trivia ... think you can stump me? Always looking for penpals to play with.
If I have sent you a friend invite, it is because something about your profile is genuinely interesting to me and I want to talk to you -- NOT because I need a high friend count.


Favorite band: Def Leppard

Favorite music: alternative, indie & industrial rock, DCI

My Interests

Music of every genre (no, really!), Web programming/design, music/movie/TV trivia, quantum theory, my kids, OTR (old-time radio shows), weekend travel, off-roading, camping ... basically anything outdoors, and hunting for the stuff I collect (or whatever my fixation-of-the-week is on eBay).


I'd like to meet:

Actually, I'm fairly notorious for my reclusive nature. It would be fun to catch up with old friends from Colorado, Montana, and Dallas. If you're one of them, say hello! Always happy to talk to fellow Patriot Guard riders, Lep fans, music and movie trivia buffs, fellow writers, and those who share my rather eclectic tastes.

Music:



Ross Halfin, Lens God, I wish I was you ...

Movies:

1776, Full Metal Jacket, His Girl Friday, Dark Side of Oz, Freaks, Beauty Shop, Good Will Hunting, Gross Pointe Blank, Top Gun, True Lies, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Office Space, BASEketball, Cable Guy, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Friday, Pulp Fiction, Unbreakable, Men in Black, Mother, Casino ... never mind. This could go on all day.

Television:

Favorite shows: South Park, Simpsons, King of the Hill, Penn & Teller: Bullshit!. When I CAN watch TV, I mostly watch the Discovery channel, National Geographic, the History channel, and the like.

Books:

Anything by Leon Uris, Stephen King, Robert Benchley, or Ray Bradbury. My favorite books are huge collections of history-based trivia on any subject. I also read a LOT of "geekfeed" e.g., programming and computer books.

Heroes:

U.S. and allied Armed Forces and service veterans (THANK YOU!)
My daughter and sons. My big brothers. My mom.

War on Drugs or Prohibition?

This is a message I never thought I would be sending. I am not a drinker, I don't get high, and I don't use street drugs. That will never change because I have no desire to change it. When it comes to...

Irony (really long)

I was just reading back to my experience at my very first rock concert - the Def Leppard concert last August. I stated then that (in my early 40s), I had never in my life been to a rock concert; that...
