1st century Egyptian nose-whistles, seriously: singing, making music, old cars, havin' fun with my kids and their friends, babies, old people, real estate, cool old stuff. I have a lot of interests. I am on a mission to make my life less complicated by getting rid of my stuff- need to simplify! Hey- if you hang out with me chances are good I'm gonna give you something for you to take and clutter up YOUR house with whether you want it or not- how else will I clean up mine? I love to travel and have been just about everywhere in the lower 48 for music and cars- hey - I've even been to Chuck Berry's house! Tell me what interests you :-)!
I'd like to meet:
Brian Wilson, Harper Lee, Taylor Mills, women who can pass by a mirror without looking in it, anyone over 110 years old- you know, just normal everyday very cool people!UPDATE: Thanks to my very wonderful friend: Jeffrey, I was able to meet my idol Brian Wilson at the Beacon Theater in NYC, after the most amazing musical performance I've ever seen. (More about that later w/pics). His bandmates are truly masters of their craft and Brian was in great voice. These are amazing, wonderful and caring people who obviously love Brian and his music as much as I do. Thanks to them all and especially Jeff, who made it all happen. STILL didn't meet *Taytay* though- think she saw me first and ran the other way. just kidding.

Books:
Yellow pages- when I'm hungry: War and Pizza. Actually I love all books- what's not to love?:They hardly ever complain and are very quiet most of the time-unless thrown or when they fall off a shelf. Stealing from Will Rogers: Never met a book I didn't like! OK,... well there was that crappy one from the Dollar store, but even that worked out ok- leveled that refrigerator right up- now my Jello's even across the top when it sets.
Heroes:
My Family, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson. Harry Chapin. My Mom- God, what she went through- never complained and never gave up. People who follow their dreams. Creative people. People who instinctively help others without thinking and take the chance of looking stupid. People who do the jobs nobody else will do. Nurses, and nurses aides. People who give their all when no one's around to watch. Soldiers, police officers, and firefighters who protect our lives- putting their own in peril.
Jesus. - what if we COULD love one another, turn the other cheek, and not judge others?
What if?
