About Me


| View Show | Create Your Own | Playlist Quiet. Hopefully kind. I like science fiction and fantasy. Love stories with happy endings.I'm very proud of my children. My son graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University, has done graduate work at George Washington University and is now in school again at Virginia Commonwealth University (Yes, he is a permanent student!) While being cool and handsome, he is very intellectual at the same time. He reads all of these books that I barely understand.My daughter teaches Science in Managua, Nicaragua at a private high school She and her husband are missionaries there until December of 2007 when they will return to the United States permanently. Her husband just finished his MBA. She is beautiful and brainy, finishing her Master's Degree before she was 22. (She got both from her mother.)And I'm going to be a Grandfather in June! It is great news and I am incredible excited.I'm still single and don't date very much. Asking a guy out seems to take more courage than I usually have. Maybe Mr. Right will magically appear? Maybe not! (But if you know a really nice guy who's between 45 and 60 please send him my way!) Free MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
