Spending time with my beautiful daughter. I do enjoy family time, but I also enjoy getting out on my own and ridin' my bike. And who doesn't like to travel. I have a renewed desire to travel. As you can see from the map on my page, I've been around, but would like to hit a few more places - specifically, New England area (VT, ME, NH).
I have also been coaching youth soccer off and on for about 18 years.
I am also really into tracing my ancestry. I have been working on this the past couple of years and have done pretty well so far.
Now that we have a super-nice camera (10mp), I've really started liking photography. I'd like to take a class to see if I can improve what I'm already doing.
I'd like to meet:
I'm not sure who I would like to meet. I suppose if I had to pick someone, I'd choose someone from the past - perhaps my great-grandfather, Allen Gressett Burrage. Unfortunately, he died when I was two-year-old. I think I would really enjoy a nice long conversation with him.

Music:
I really like music from the 70's and 80's - CCR, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Aerosmith, John Lennon. Some recent music is pretty good, too - Alanis, Eminem, Uncle Kracker, K.T. Tunstal, Marty Casey and Kickstand .
Movies:
Pretty much any Horror movie (i.e. Texas Chainsaw Masacre [2003 remake], Thirteen Ghost [again, the remake] and Jeepers Creepers). I really like M. Night Shyamalan's work - The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs and Lady in the Water.
Comedies are pretty good, too - you know, Christmas Vacation, 50 First Dates and Bruce Almighty.
I also like classic movies - some that come to mind are Modern Times with Charlie Chaplin, Stagecoach with John Wayne, and Vacation - yes, National Lampoon's Vacation is a classic.
Television:
Hell's Kitchen, N.C.I.S., Numb3rs, The Unit, Seinfeld, In Living Color, American Chopper, Survivor. Lately, I've started watching America's Got Talent and The Next Best Thing.
Books:
Dean Koontz, Steven King, History Stuff - Texas and Civil War time, especially.
