Disgruntled Bears' Fan

About Me

My time is spent between Chicago and Boston. As a former firefighter, I am a member of the Boston Gaelic Fire Brigade. I work as a paramedic seasonally at Soldier Field (Da Bears), and at some concerts. If you see any Toys-For-Tots deliveries during the holiday season (complete with Santa and his reindeer) in the Chicagoland area, I just might be one of the elves on the crew. Also, I have attended several events hosted by the Leary Firefighters Foundation (Denis Leary), and I strongly support his organization that supports my former brotherhood.

My Interests

Baseball (I am a biSOXual baseball fan......I follow the Red Sox AND the White Sox), football (NFL only), bicycling, firefighting history, bagpipe bands, my two dogs, and all sorts of music. Oh yea, and a fine cigar every now and then.Currently, I lend my support to two organizations listed below: New York Says Thank You (founded by Jeff Parness), and CJ's Bus (founded by Kathryn Martin). Both are worthy causes and they have a similar theme. They asist people affected by natural disaster.Please watch the Montel Williams Show on 2-22-08. Here is a sneak peek: http://montelshow.com/voices/ . Click on Kathryn Martin. It was taped last week, and Kathryn wins an award for CJ's Bus. Myself and two other members of the organization could be seen in the audience; there to support Kathryn. There will be an opportunity for viewers to either donate to the charity or just send letters of support to us as we help Kathryn with her project.

I'd like to meet:

People in the Chicago area with similar interests, or people in the Boston area with similar interests.

Music:

Television:

News junkie, but usually like what FX has to offer. Oh yea, and sports stuff.

Books:

Heroes:

Anyone who can drink more Jaegermeister than me, and still stay standing.

Catholic Drill Season

  Well, here we have it. Holy Week. And to boot, St. Patrick’s Day and St. Joseph’s Day are thrown in there for good measure. Usually, these two holidays fall long before Easter Week,...
