About Me

Felt the need to change my profile a bit...I'm here in the Midwest, just doing my thing. Work and gym time keep my days pretty full, but there's always room for fun. Reading, music, watching/playing sports, movies, and the company of my family and friends are things that keep me going. Contentment and happieness with where you are in life is something that has really come to me in recent years. When I get down, I just have to remember all the blessings in my life. I think of myself as a kind person, but I can be very blunt at times coupled with a bit of sarcasm. I could care less what other people think of me. I'm a self-reliant/self-sufficient type of person, but even I would like to be taken care of/looked after every once in awhile. I can be a fairly opinionated and stuburn person at times, so come on challenge me.....Finally...here are some pics from from my trip to NY! I have to say that I took very few of these...kudos to Dave the master photographer ;)Get Your Own! | View Slideshow

My Interests

"Wine is important. Wine is history, comfort and strength, food and drink, art and commerce. You can't say that about much else." Nevada Barr in A Superior Death.test

My brother David is going to Iraq.  He finally got the call today.  It's been killing everyone waiting this long to hear.  I think I had kind of put it out of my mind, that he wasn't go...

Remember....don't forget who you are. I see so many women out there who meet a man and believe that this man is perfect for them.  It's funny when more often than not, this man is completely wro...
