My Interests

my daughter, friends & family, music, books, photography, sports, movies, history, railroads, the web

I'd like to meet:


I give just about everyone a chance... I like unique personalities and well-told stories... People I share common interests with...

Music:

*LIVE* is the way to go!

Movies:

This list is always changing and in need of updating, so what is the point? However lame it might be to admit, my first love was Drew Barrymore in E.T., so I guess that ranks up there...

Television:

Pretty much only watch MLB and NFL on televsion, most of the rest of the shit is too mindless for me. reality shows have never been something I could sit through for long - even back when the "Real World" was hitting, I just couldn't understand the allure. Apologies to all the reality show freaks. I do like the History channel quite a bit. I like AM talk radio as well. (Once again my lameness is on display - hehe)

Books:

Creative Non-fiction

Heroes:

US Soldiers

I Bet Your Reality Show Is Better Than Mine

    Back in high school my friend Bruce and I used to joke that some of the more memorable moments in our lives would make a good book, or better yet, a movie. "If only we had video rol...
