About Me


RIP George Carlin ^^
1937 - 2008

WARNING!
Language may be objectionable to some,
but this routine was eventually responsible for
federal law.
***********************************
I'm a single Dad raising my 10 year old daughter alone,
who also has 2 "grownup" daughters from a "previous life". :)
My kids, animals and music are my passions.
I live with my youngest daughter, 7 dogs, a cat, 2 guinea pigs,
2 chinchillas, 3 birds and some fish.
(I pause here only to ask;
"Does one actually live with fish ... ?" Really.
I mean, sure, you can live
with a dog ... with a cat ... ... ...
but
with ... a fish?
--- Don't hurt yourself trying to think that one out;
It was just a random thought.)

I'm a good parent, I work hard, like to laugh
and try to enjoy the little things in life.
Oh, and I am a COMPLETE DOG FREAK^^!
I foster for PAWS and I also volunteer at SOCKS ,
two of our local animal shelters.
(It's important to note here, that, in my world, the word "foster"
has a different meaning than it does in yours.
To you, "foster" means - "to bring home, care for, treat and
medicate until well and a suitable home can be found".
In
my fur-infested world, the definition is somewhat shorter.
My experience has been that "foster" means -
"to bring home, care for, treat and medicate until well".
Period.
Now you know WHY I have 6 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs,
2 chinchillas, 2 birds ... {sigh} ... and some fish.)

I'm re-building my life on several levels right now,
and things are slowly getting better ... Knock on wood. :)
I love my kids, my life, my work, working in the yard, having fun ...
anything outdoors really and GOING TO THE BEACH
whenever I can.
There isn't as much time as I'd like to have for the fun & beach,
but my little girl gives me all the reason I need to keep going
and enjoy what down-time we do manage to find.
Anyway, as a former working musician in the 80s who used to say
Radio DJs were just frustrated musicians who couldn't get it done,
I'm now living proof! lol
If you wanna know anything else, just ask. ^^
Very Funny ...... ^^

...... Not As Funny ^^
