My Interests

Light sabers, ninjas. That's about it.

Three musketeers candy bars too.

And running.

I'd like to meet:

*Those who are looking to be inspired.

*Those who wish to take their training to another level.

*Those who want to share with me their running/exercise stories.

*Those who seek to have a speaker at their next event who will give you that extra oomph.

And if it is not too much trouble, Jennifer Garner.

Music:

Zeppelin rules.

Movies:

I have seen enough to have been paid to review them, that is for sure.

Television:

Mr. Wizard, Double Dare, Lost, Arrested Development, MST3K, The Office, Scrubs.

Books:

The Time Traveler's Wife. LOTR. The Three Investigators.

Heroes:

Those who help others because they can, not because they have to. Be it a firefighter, cop, or some white collar guy chipping in at the soup kitchen.

And Nightcrawler. So German and so weird!
