About Me



I love music. I love my wife and family. I love my farm. I want to see world peace in my lifetime. I want to see cheaper concert tickets. I want to see affordable high quality healthcare for everyone. I wish I could fly. I wish I could travel back and forth in time. I wish I had a drink!!!
