About Me

I read all the emails you send. And someday, yes, I will respond to them. Please be patient with my laziness. It's a crippling disease I'm VERY slowly working on fixing.

My Interests

Casino gambling, poker, and wagering of any kind. Knife and card throwing. Movies and movie trivia. Being a music snob. Bowling (about the most athletic I get). Fancy cars. Movie posters. Autographed LPs. Complaining (I'm REALLY good at it). Sushi. Jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. Las Vegas (the place, not the show). My beloved, cursed Chicago Cubs. Purchasing unnecessary home goods.

My Blog

Stop it.

Dear people under 30, Please stop writing the word "effing."  Feel free to say it out loud all you want.  But if you should have to write it in a text message, email, etc., I must insist you...
