General I enjoy being outside. I like the seasons. Each has something special and unique and I like to enjoy them all. I love baseball. I'm a die-hard St. Louis Cardinal fan. GO CARDS! I always seem to be doing something around the house. I usually have some sort of project underway. I've recently started playing golf and I've found it to be lots of fun.

..
Heros are hard to find and most are overrated. I would say my wife would be my first hero. There's no one that's "superhuman".....just people who do the best they can with the circumstances they're given. A few heros that come to mind:
Those parents that work hard for their family and fight with all it takes to keep a roof over their heads.
Parents and children that face poverty, disease and disability but keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Those who follow their calling to show love and mercy to people who would otherwise have none.
Those who started with nothing and made something of it.
There are far too many people called "hero" due to priviledge or because they've been blessed with a certain ability. I think our perception of what a hero should be has become so distorted we wouldn't know one if we met one.
