If I'm not all "There", where is the rest of me?

About Me

Father of two, husband of one. I have recently moved to Mandeville Louisiana where I am employed as a carpenter. I also take on various projects on my own including light remodeling, nautical and fancy ropework, theatrical stunts and effects. My lovely wife Mary is an upholsterer who brings a new life to well loved pieces of furniture in our garage. She is the rudder of our family keeping us steady through our journey if Family. My two boys are Satchel (1997) and Henry (1999) two of the brightest boys ever. No really, how many other 6 and 9 year olds know the periodic table of elements? I'm not a hundred percent positive but I believe that I had very little Gray hair before either of them were born. We are also caretakers of "Little Dog", who has been with Mary longer than she's had me, (She's had both of us sterelized). Unfortunately, Little Dog has recently shuffled off her mortal coil. If you are small, black, blind, and deaf a midnight stroll on a busy road is not advisable.

My Interests

I enjoy wearing my three Utilikilts (not all at once), composting organic materials, tying decorative knots, and riding my Motorcycle

I'd like to meet:

Dead: Einstein, Voltaire, Thurgood Marshall, Niel Cassidy, Hunter S. Thompson, Barbara Jordon. Or Alive: Christopher Walken, Jon Stewert, Paul Schumer, Steven Cobert,

Music:

I'm totally old school on music. The Greatful Dead and Bob Dylan are big favorites. I'm also fond of songs by Kurt Weil who wrote for the playwrite Bertold Brecht. Some of his most popular tunes include Mac the Knife, and Whiskey Bar. It's kind of German caberet show tunes. I like Americana and that new weird folky stuff thats going around.

Movies:

The Cook, The Theif, his Wife and her Lover, Resevoir Dogs, Drunken Master, Greasers Palace, Skidoo. I think anyone who had creative input in the English Patient should be confined to a penal colony on the Aleutien Islands.

Books:

Anything by William Gibson or Neal Stephanson. I've also read all of the Vonnegut and Irving I could find. Heinlein, Tolkien, and many other authors whose names can be easily misspelled (sp?).
