I am a happily separated, 44 year old, long time Saranac Laker. I was raised here, went to school here, left for a short while and then returned here (as many do). I have spent half of my living years with the same employer. I despise being judged. That doesn’t mean I don’t accept constructive criticism, it means please don’t judge me. I enjoy time alone to think, although at times I have a tendency to over think and overanalyze. I don’t need or want you to “save me from myself”. I am a dad, a son, an ex-spouse and a friend. Gatherings at “Mike’s Pub and Grill” make me happy. I find stress relief in cooking and in writing, not so much in cleaning. I live for any time spent on, in or near the water. My son Taylor and I pretty much live on the lakes during the summer.I am... ah, hell if I know... I love summer, true friends, family, time with my son, blues, sunshine, a good book, a productive morning, a lazy afternoon, poetry, echoes, wilderness, cooking, entertaining, cold beer, whiskey, philosophy (occasionally my own...), a raging woodstove, candles during a power outage, candles just for fun, snuggling, fresh cut grass, a short week at work, an extended vacation, hot dogs over a campfire, cheap gas, roast beef & mashed potatoes, fresh sheets, humor, kayaking, live music...
