About Me

Just a regular, down to earth guy who is trying to stay in shape! Making the change from the mid-west to the south is getting easier with the great weather. Now what do you do with the traffic?

My Interests

Animal rescue. I love 'em all but cannot take 'em all home with me. Carpentry, building cars and houses. I enjoy cultivating the landscape around my house.

I'd like to meet:

Tom DeLay, a champion of patriotism and small government.

Music:

Everything but lately mostly classical.

Movies:

Too many to list and Shawshank is only one of my many fav's.

Television:

I don't watch much TV but love Animal Planet and educational shows.

Books:

Too many to list suffice to say I read political books, history and non-fiction. Once in a while I'll grab a thriller from Tom Clancy or Steven King/Dean Koontz.

Heroes:

The Lord, Ronald Reagan, Tom DeLay, Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill, My parents, my HS teachers, Thomas Edison, Animal Rescue volunteers, Frank Lloyd Wright, Chiang Kai-shek
