What would Journey Do?

About Me

I work in the dastardly liberal print-media, but when I'm not editing copy, designing pages, taking photos, bossing people around and immortalizing your mindless hit-and-run DUI in print, I play drums with the band Just Megan (check out her site below) and recoil in frustration over the lack of wallspace for art in my tiny house (with a great back yard). I enjoy golf, even though I suck (except for putting). Other than that, I am single by both choice (kinda) and geography -- cuz the pickin's are slim here in the Weather Capital of the World, believe me -- and just because I dress well doesn't mean I'm gay, thanks.

My Interests

Music, photography, newspaper design, travel, bird-feeders, the outdoors, mowing lawn (my own, not yours), making up names for rock bands, Canadian ballet, picking on the help, piles of ketchup, cheeseburgers with cheese, watching my brother do carpentry.

Me, when I was 16, so I could slap myself across the face; Jack Blades; Jerome Bettis; Ben Roethlisberger; Pat Benatar; Abraham Lincoln; any member of Van Halen; my future ex-wife; and my future niece or nephew, who is on the way as we speak!
