About Me

I'm 55 years old, happily married, and live in North Texas (east of Dallas) with my lovely wife, Sandie. We share our home with one cat (Della) and two dogs (Peanut and Penny).I have two grown children from a previous marriage. My son Glynn and daughter Gloria live in NJ. I'm very proud of both of them.

My Interests

Politics, history, music (especially pop music from the '40s thru the '70s).

I'd like to meet:

I'm here to find fellow Morristown High alumni, keep in touch with my friends, and network with other Democrats who are interested in turning the Lone Star State blue.VERY IMPORTANT: I'm happily married, and I am NOT interested in dating, swinging, nude photos (of either sex), or refinancing my mortgage. So if your only interest in asking to be my friend is to advertise any of those, don't bother. I'll report you to MySpace Customer Service in a New York Minute.You Are 83% North Jersey

Dude, you're a real North Jerseyan! As such, you've probably been down the shore this summer, shopped at Garden State, taken the PATH into the city, and gone to at least one Bon Jovi concert. However your score does leave a little room for improvement...
