About Me

There's not much to tell about myself. I work, go to church, spend time with my family. You know the usual stuff. Some would say that butter wouldn't melt in my mouth!! Other than that, you'll have to get to know me to find out if there is more to me or not.

My Interests

Life is like a river. It twists and turns, eroding the ground creating new pathways. These twists and turns take you to new and sometimes the strangest places you could ever imagine going. However, these places may have the best views of all.Sometimes like a river, life is a raging torrent and other times it's a slow meandering stream. Come what may, life is never the same it's always changing. You've got to be ready and willing to see what's around the next bend.Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™

PARSONS ALAN lyrics

Music:

I am a HUGE Pink Floyd and Alan Parson's Project fan. I like almost any kind of music EXCEPT for country.

Movies:

I prefer comedies. I like to laugh. Everybody needs humor in their lives. Life is way to serious to not have some fun!!

Television:

I don't watch to much TV. But I do like Monk, Law and Order: SVU, and CSI

Books:

Lately I've been reading the classics. I do read a lot of biographies. My favorite books are the Poldark series by Winston Graham (a must read). The Poldark series has it all: adventure, love triangles, mystery, class struggles, smuggling, dualing, and ship wrecks.

Heroes:

My daughter Jenny. She has been dealt several life changing illnesses. Through it all, her faith has remained strong. I'm not sure that I would be able to handle it so gracefully.
