About Me

I'm kind of the at-home-dad in my family. It was been a challenging and rewarding journey that has gone by very quickly. I seem to enjoy music as much now as I did when I was a teenager. I also enjoy perusing old books and sell some as a hobby. I love nearby Chestertown: Andy's, Sam's and Natural Foods. Lately, I've been trying to rediscover some creativity I used to possess!

My Interests

Books, Health, Coffee, Weather, History, Cats, Any Sort of Useless Pop Culture Info, Nostalgia, Peanut Butter and Garlic.

I'd like to meet:

Friends, old acquaintances, people I admire, anyone with common interests.

Music:

"Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence" ~ Robert Fripp. I seem to like everything from Sammy Davis Jr.'s "The Candy Man" to RUSH's "Working Man."

Movies:

I don't seem to have much time for movies these days. I would like to see Ulee's Gold again sometime. In the past I enjoyed The Professional, Night of the Living Dead, Cuckoo's Nest, Blue Velvet and The Valley of Gwangi.

Television:

Kind of a small cheap one from K Mart.

Books:

Cold Mountain, The Cider House Rules, The Summer of '42, Fatal Vision, A Patchwork Planet, Stormy Weather . . . did I mention The Summer of '42? If anyone has an old copy of the Bob Greene book Billion Dollar Baby, I'll buy it.

Heroes:

Bruce Lee, Robert E. Lee, Geddy Lee, Stan Lee and Harper Lee

KURT

One foot in the door, the other foot in the gutter
