Jerry

I am a man, of constant sorrow...Well, you know the rest of the song.

About Me

Hmmmmm...a few things about me. I have a huge love for God and for music. I sing and play sax in a band. I like all types of music but my favorite for performing and listening is R & B, soul, and jazz. I have been divorced for several years. I have had custody of my 13 and 14 yr old sons for 12 years now. They like keeping their dad's stress level up just a bit. I think they are who put this salt in my pepper.

My Interests

Traveling is a favorite of mine also, so far this year skiing in Utah, Colorado and Lake Tahoe and this summer trips to Florida, California and Hawaii (the pics from August 2006). I may sprout wings and go a little further, who knows?

I'd like to meet:

I am a firefighter for the city of Beaumont which allows me a lot of time to do the things that interest me most. You've just read about a few of them. I am also a real estate agent for Coldwell Banker Southern Homes here in Beaumont. If your house is burning down or if you are just looking for a new one, I can help you in either case. :-D

Music:

Love R&B, Smooth Jazz, Soul, Funk...There are some I like in about every style from Bluegrass (Oh Brother, Where Art Thou) to Metal...

Hmmm...

You know, when I was young I figured people my age either had things figured out, or were at least well on their way.  Quite often I just feel like I am floating around in a big question mark.&nb...

Yawnnnn....

Ok, after a day and a half in Brownfield Texas I now remember why north/west Texas never appealed to me.  Way to dry and, more importantly, way to "nothin' to do"...I'll be back home soon. Jerry...
