I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I like sailing and have my own boat. Kind a prerequisite for living in Florida, at least for me. I just enjoy being on the water. I would love to get a bigger boat and do some extended cruising through the Caribbean and maybe over to Europe or down to Brazil.I play guitar and bass and have been in a few rock bands playing original music. I'm currently in the process of raising my next band (my 8 year old is already writing songs and the 5 year old has good rhythm and is working on his drum skills).I'm an airforce brat so I've lived a few places including overseas. I've been to all the continents except for Asia and Antartica and I would like to hit them as well.I'm recently widowed, so I'm not up for anything serious. Just looking for friends. layout powered by HOT FreeLayouts.com / MyHotComments

You stuck what up where?!?!?!

Life is never boring when you have kids.  I'm about to cook up a nice dinner this evening when my 4 1/2 year old comes up to me and says, "I've got a ball in my nose."  I tell him to go get...

Burning Down the House
