Drink Michigan Beer!

About Me

Born and raised in SE Michigan. I always longed to move somewhere else, but never did...kinda like a true Michigander -- one who is always bitching about the weather, the roads/construction, etc, but ends up being a "lifer". (Michigan isn't that bad really...I could think of worse places to live.) ~~ I love many types of music from Classical to Blues to Hard Rock to Metal (even an occassional dose of old skool rap). ~~I have quite an affinity for microbrewed/craft beers, particularly IPAs, Scotch Ales, Stouts, and Porters, although I'm not a beer snob or super picky. Michigan has SO many GREAT brewers...please support them! ~~I am a hockey enthusiast of sorts. While I dont play much at all any more, I do love to follow the sport. I love our Detroit Red Wings!! I also enjoy baseball (Go Tigers!) and college football (Go Blue!). ~~I have been keeping Saltwater Aquariums since 1991 and have loved every bit of it. Little did I know that someday this passion would lead me to my soul mate...an absolutely wonderful girl who transplanted here from Long Island, NY. I have never met anyone like this girl!
