About Me

Run by my dear friend Amie.


I've faltered in my non-smoking quest, but I am quitting again on my birthday. I still don't want to let my niece and nephew down!

My Interests

Making this world a better place for those who come behind me. My grandchildren deserve better than what they will probably wind up getting, and I am mad as hell that no one has the courage to take a stand and DO SOMETHING to make this land better!

I'd like to meet:

Forget the "I'd like to meet" part! For all my old friends who have found me or have yet to find me, I need to explain a few things, so that my life, as a whole, makes sense to you.
As stated in the details box somewhere to the left, I am gay, as most of you know, knew, expected, blah blah blah. I am also married, though, and it is legal. My spouse, whose legal name is Laurie, is quite a gem in herself. We were married on June 10, 2005. From this union, I have gained two daughters and four grandchildren...none connected to me biologically, unfortunately.
I am crazy about my daughters and my grandchildren, and we have a very good relationship, for the most part. There's a little tension from time to time with our teenager, Elisabeth, but we are a happy family.
My story's kinda unusual, I'll admit. I became a grandfather at the age of THIRTY! Yikes! It's the kewlest thing in the world, though.
For anyone reconnecting with me now....I think you have the main outline of things now. Don't proceed with caution. Be bold, ask questions, whatever your hearts desire! I'm still not very private about most things.
Ciao for now!

Television:

CSI, Cold Case, Cold Case Files, American Justice, Without A Trace, Law and Order, I Love Lucy - in fact, ALL Lucy shows, and I'm a sitcom freak!

Books:

I'm quite taken by Dean Koontz. I also like Stephen King, Robin Cook, a book called Mine, Nelson Demille, Barbara Delinsky....and some others.

Heroes:


My Girls!!!!

Hurt feelings

My feelings are hurt, but that's nothing new, really.  I ALMOST wish I wasn't a vindictive person, but damnit, I always have to get my barbs in.  Right now, honestly, I'd like to be more br...

Let the wonders of Heaven flood my soul

I'm pretty happy with the way things have been going, lately.  Since I last wrote, I've been praying more and depending on God to do what the title of this entry says..."Let the wonders of Heaven...

It doesn't make a difference what I do or do not do around this house.  Nothing matters, if I do it, because it's not Mom doing it.  Dad can get a job, bully for the bastard.  Mom stays...
