About Me


Chasing sunsets and rainbows; flying between California and Georgia trying to live two lives simultaneously. Living life one day at a time. My life is complicated, and it might seem that I am, too; but really, I'm just me, doing the best I can.
I was a travel consultant for many years so I am always ready to travel. My passport is always current and my American Express Card is always paid! Let's GO!
I LOVE BASEBALL! I LOVE THE SF GIANTS, Willie Mays is the greatest of all time! AND while I'm talking about it, I think MLB's treatment of Barry Bonds SUCKS. The new ballpark in SF is the most beautiful place to be on a summer afternoon!
I LOVE FOOTBALL! I LOVE THE FORTY-NINERS, Joe Montana really was awesome but I think Steve Young deserved better. He sat behind Joe for years and STILL managed to break some of his records! I had the AMAZING experience of hosting Steve Young at a corporate dinner in 2003 and he was such a gentlemen! I was an Oakland Raider fan for many years, during the "Stabler" days, but eventually joined the many fans frustrated with the Davis greed.
Basketball? Not so much... for some reason the sound of the tennis shoes squeaking on the floor drives me nuts!
I used to golf but after I broke my back in a car accident it just hurts too much after about 6 - 8 holes (depending on the number of strokes I've already taken lolol ) But I keep up with game and have a great Kenny Perry vs. ME story from 1999.
Anything else about me is probably said in this song:
ANY OLD WIND THAT BLOWS --- JOHNNY CASH
Lord, she's restless
Like cotton candy clouds that sail the day
Slow an' free
And she possesses
A mind that can't resign itself to stay
For long with me
Tho' I've tried and tried to keep her tied and satisfied
Until she really needs me
Yes I do
But when that certain look comes on her face
I can't replace it, and she leaves me
CHORUS:
She's a butterfly in mid July
Who just can't wait to try her brand new wings
On brand new things
And she needs no rhyme or reason, when she goes
Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall of blue horizon
I suppose
And heaven knows
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows
Yes she will, yes she will
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows
I know she needs me
About as much as I need someone else
Which I don't
And if need be
I swear someday I'll up and leave myself
Which I won't
Even if she loved another man, I'd understand it more than I do
Mmm, mmm, mmm
But I know the only reason
That she ever had for leavin', is she wants to

Youngbloods Lyrics

I'd like to meet:

Writers, poets, entertainers, artists, creative types, happy smilie people, people who have experienced the other side .... people who keep breathing in and out when it seems useless. I'm not interested in an on-line relationship. I'm just interested in communicating with fun people.

CURRENT MOON moon phase
AS I GO ON MY WAY
My life shall touch a dozen lives
Before this day is done,
Leave countless marks for good or ill
Ere sets the evening sun;
So this the wish I always wish,
The prayer I ever pray,
Let my life help the other lives
It touches by the way.
By Strickland Gillian

All the soldiers who are willing to serve in all branches of the service. God bless each of you!

Amen to those who are willing to put themselves in harms way for our protection, safety and security. You are all every day heroes.
