About Me

The grounds keeper for the local public institution. Paid to cut grass, shovel snow and work on my suntan year round. It's taught me it's all about image. Currently living in the middle of nowhere right outside of some place you might have heard about. Paying off a farmstead that I will never really own as long as there are property taxes. Living in harmony with my wife, son, our dog, Daisy the cow, 6 goats(aka the Barnyard Posse), and sometimes the cat. Life motto "Just Visiting" I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 a I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
