About Me


Sometimes I feel a little like the character of Dexter Morgan. Except, of course, I don't kill people. Add that with Dawson Leery...you got me.
Random likes: Geo Trackers, sporty chicks, witty people, great conversation, beers, campfires, alone time, hockey games, playing softball, flicks and live theater, reading and writing.
Random dislikes: closed-minded people, beets, having gas, root canals, dog pee, rotten food.
I'm very proud of my son, but he's too little to know that. I've got to keep writing to make a difference, if for nobody than myself. Life is fast, I love it and people who appreciate what they have...because they only have it one time. I love my family very much.
This is my son, Declan Alexander Croyle
