About Me

As you can see from my page I am a pretty "multifaceted type of guy" with a lot of interests. Some of those interests include: History (both Eastern North American and Western European), Surfing (Great Lakes and the "surfing subculture of the 1960's"), the decade of the 1960's (especially the "subculture of the Sosh's" - who were those "middle class white collar types" who cruised in Mustang convertibles and wore white straight legs and the girls wore white hair bands), Heritage and Genealogy ( I am basically an "old stock North American Blend" - ie, British Isles, German, French Canadian with Iroquois blend), and finally have clairvoyant abilities (possibly from some distant Romany heritage)- I am very good and accurate with predictions and enjoy "light- hearted" paranormal things such as "pyschokinesis and telekinesis", etc. I'm also into the outdoors, kayaking on the lakes and rivers, mountain biking, and taking weekend jaunts to the shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron for beach combing, freshwater surfing, hiking and exploring trendy downtowns, cafes, bistro's and coffee houses/art galleries. Love music (pop/rock 60's - 90's)concerts, renaissance festivals and anything historical including reenactments (I use to be with the Ste Claire Voyaguers - French Canadian Fur Trade Canoeists).
