About Me

My name is Riley and I am 50, but do not feel a day over 49. I love my wife and can not talk about her enough. I also love my two step kids who are doing their own thing in California. I love being a FLATBED truck driver (til I get bored)and travelling the country.I am the proud owner of an Old English Mastiff named "Tess". She is 6 months old this March 2008 and weighs 90 lbs. I will be sharing my love for her with all of you. I also like to share concerns about the human state, our food sources, our environment and evil politics where blood pays for oil.

Television:

Not much time for TV, I guess it was the Sopranos. I like family guy and the Simpsons for pure guilty pleasure. Three and a half men for the whoring antics of Charlie Sheen.
