Playing music (guitar). Gardening. Playing music. Hanging out with friends at happy hour at the greatest dock bar in Maryland, the Shanty. UPDATE 3/2007: The Shanty has sold, new name is The Big Owl (for a dock bar?), It has great Tiki type decorations, but...the magic is gone, another end of an era, shit, I hate it when that happens. Where was I? Hanging out at Half Shell Raw Bar or Schooners Wharf in Key West is one of my favorite things to do. Love to visit Please Check Out My Irish Kevin's Fan Site and to do the Duval Crawl once in a while. Oh yea, listening to good music, playing music, I guess I like playing music. Yes that's what I like, pretty sure. Yup. Uh Huh. And of course the stunningly (is that a word?) beautiful Keys, Paradise Found. As my great friend Chris Franklin (R.I.P.) told me (warned me?) when I mentioned I was taking my first visit to Key West "It's more like visiting a foreign country". He was right. Key Weird, whatever name it happens to be that year, still a treasure.

Sleepless in Seatle is one of my favorites. Like the story line, plys Meg Ryan is such a babe in that, beautiful. Romantic movies, and romantic comedies. Message in a Bottle touched something deep inside me. Have a really off the wall sense of humor. I am a big Three Stooges fan, Mel Brooks movies are awesome("excuse me while I whip this out..."), Spinal Tap, Looney Tunes cartoons, that kind of crazy humor.
Not much on TV. Ghost Hunters is a cool show. Most Extreme Challange is very funny. National Geographic, Animal, Weather, Discovery, Science, History, VH1 Classic, CSI, Two and a Half Men. Whatever looks interesting.
Clapton (his autobiography reading now)Don't Stop The Carnival. The Florida Keys-A History And Guide, I recommend that book very highly. The Prophet. The Little Prince. Off the wall sort of stuff most of the time. Yes I guess I may be a shallow person.
still thinking about this one. For starters, Henry Flagler co founder of Standard Oil, he built a railroad to Florida and extended it to Key West; Teddy Roosevelt, he did so much for this country. JFK, had the balls to question the corrupt Federal Reserve Bank' cost him his life. Leo Fender, Les Paul, Jim Marshall, Paul Reed Smith, Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Buddy Guy, more to be added later.
