About Me


Loyal as a lap dog and twice as handy. Able to fix or build many things with nothing more than a few tools, some beers, and a few choice words. Born and raised Irish Catholic - kept the former, dropped the latter. A classic INFJ and a Wood Tiger , although I don't believe in things I can't immediately see or have proven to me (but some of the coincidences can be striking). Excellent Derby Widow and #1 Dad. Future independent researcher; philosopher; and proprietor of a farm with character including a tractor, winery, christmas tree farm, cafe, catering business and public house. Then I'm retiring to Ireland. Take THAT long term goals! I dig the intelligent counter culture of freaks that weaves itself in and out of the main stream. I live green, both enviromentally and recreationally. Desperately holding on to those last threads of punk rock attitude. Art. Wood carving, paper folding, photography and jewelry making are hobbies. Wanna do oil painting. I'd love to get into some stone carving. Van Gogh. Monet. Matisse. Bob Ross (Seriously). Gothic architecture. Japanese silk paintings. Bridges. Frank Lloyd Wright. Arts&Crafts style housing and such. Big metropolotan architecture from the 1920's and 30's (Google 1936 Cord 810. Seriously beautiful car.). So, drop me a line, I'll be your friend. Maybe we'll share a laugh, and feel all warm and tingly, if only for a little while. I might also have an unhealty addiction to Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Hard hittin fishnet wearin tattooed girls on quads. Les Stroud if I were lost in the wilderness. The person in the pub buying me a pint, simply because my glass is empty.

Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy

If they ever come up with a Swashbuckling School, I think one of the courses should be "Laughing then jumping off something". When you're riding in a time machine way far into the future, don't stick...
