My Interests

A day in my boat, walleye fishing.Watching my kids at their sports. I roast my own coffee beans...and am a MONSTER coffee fan! (and a bit of a caffeine junkie)
A good cribbage game.
"Unplugged" guitar and harmonica.
Kicking back with a cold Summit Beer and a good cigar.


I'd like to meet:

Entrepreneurs, business owners, marketers of all kinds, writers, artists, musicians, media, advertising agencies. Basically, people who make it happen. It’s all about networking.

IF YOU WANT TO ADD ME: Just a quick note here. That's great. If I know you, if you're a friend (or even a friend of a friend) that's fine. If you're a peer professional (see above) who wants to keep up-to-date in the industry, and exchange some meanful information, and learn from each other, that's cool. If you want to exchange blog comments, all the better. BUT, if you're a MLM, or are just trying to build your list, or put a very one-sided, self-serving link in my comments (whore trains, as they say in myspace), I'm not interested.

On the celebrity side: Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Chris Farley (well, the first three are gonna be tough), Will Ferrell, Conan O'Brien, Kevin James, Samuel L. Jackson, Jack Nicholson, Joe Montana, Collin Powell, and Mick Jagger.

Music:

Long list here: The Eagles, The Stones, The Who, Montgomergy Gentry, Rascal Flatts, Trace Adkins, Sinatra, Phil Collins, Martin Sexton, Big and Rich, J Giels Band, Steppenwolf, BTO, Steely Dan, Joe Cocker, ZZ Top.Local artists: Johnny Lang (well, I guess he's national), G.B. Leighton, Johnny Holmes and his Traveling Fun Show.

Movies:

Lots of good ones. Hitchcock..."the eyes are the window to the soul." 80s: Scarface..."Say hello to my leetle friend..."
90s: Goodfellas. "As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster."
More recently:
Pulp Fiction. "They call it a Royale with cheese."

Television:

I pretty much set time aside on Monday nights for "24", and some time in season to watch plenty of NFL football.

Books:
