About Me

I am a fairly reasonable, straightforward father of one. I am a huge music freak always searching for new and interesting music, which seems to happen less and less these days. I play the guitar, and dabble with other instruments and have been in a couple pretty good bands. I also am a big New York Yankees fan, and really enjoy watching my son play sports. Politically, I'm a centrist who leans a bit left. I can't stand writing about myself any longer, so I won't.

My Interests

music,i am a musician(glamorous& five pound opinion) and i'd like to get a new band going, baseball(new york yankees), and watching my son's baseball and soccer teams. I'm also interested in art and world politics.
