Well there is this section so what about me do you want to know?
Well given my druthers I would live out the stories in every Jimmy Buffett song that I have not already. I am the last of the official “Baby Boomers†so I am old. I live to fish and sail, neither of which I get to do with enough regularity. I fish only with a fly rod and cringe at the idea of bait chunking. If it swims, I will try to catch it on my fly rod. As for sailing, I started in a 16’ Sidewinder my then girlfriend now wife owned. Quickly moved up to catamarans that I raced and then proceeded to move to the driest place on earth, Lubbock TX. I sold the sailboats. Now I have my eye on a Seawind 1160 of Lagoon 4000 (anyone got a spare 500K). A live-aboard that is capable of making an ocean crossing in one piece and then some. You notice I have said nothing about theatre, which is a love of mine, but after 30 years of designing I take more pleasure in watching my students design work then mine. My pride and joy are my two daughters and my son. My daughters, who at the time of this version of my life are fighting with each other, will drive me either to an early grave or to drink more (the question is how much is too much). Their mother and they are often like a mixture of a base and acid. It helps in this house if you are good at “duck and cover†a skill that has saved my life more then once.Ok some basics; a few of my favorites-Place- Abaco in the Bahamas;Food – Conch fritters, grouper lightly fried, peas & rice (Bahamian style), red meat; Drink – anything with rum and red wine,Movie – Tender Mercier and Cannery Row, Play – I’ll have to think about that, Musical – it use to be Guys and Dolls so now the category is open; Author (non-fishing) – Ernest Hemmingway, Robert Ludlum, Jimmy Buffett, William Faulkner; Author (fishing) – John Gierach and Paul Quinnett;TV Show – Huff, Weeds, 24, Sprots Night, 6 Feet Under, The Wire, South Park, and Boston Legal; Other general stuff I like - NPR and Car Talk, Keith Olberman, the ocean and the mountains, silence, people who have a social conscience, and the truth, or at least a version of it not designed to profit but rather make the mundane more interesting.The more fun category, stuff I don’t like – The current government, especially Bush, Chaney, and Rumsfeld; the true axis of evil! The Big Giant Head and Rush (limp d^@*) Limbaugh. Religious hypocrisies like how can you be pro death penalty but anti abortion and the TV preachers with their perfect hair. I really don’t like stupid people who are proud of being stupid, and proud they are as smart as Bush. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not talking about people who have a learning disability or who because of lack of opportunity haven’t the opportunity to learn; no I am talking about the people who wear the “STUPID†T-Shirt and think that’s cool. More stuff I can live without - Health food, Cold, and any boy who wants to date one of my daughters (this I the only warning you get) Also, Self-important people (you know who you are)and arrogant people (all the pity you don’t know who you are). For good measure add to the list Hummers (the SUV kind)and Corporate corrupted radio.So one final thought for now, I think 3 letter words should raise as much wrath as 4 letter words. For example three letter words such as: WAR & WMD, to me are much more offensive then s@&*, f^*@, s*%#@ (ok it’s 5 letters), d@!$, etc. It’s just a thought, but if we were more concerned about war then Janet Jackson’s tit (oops it’s 3 letters but we will make an exception) how about boob that stays with our 4-letter rant, then maybe more young men and women will have the opportunity to perform some of the acts implied by those evil 4-letter words.
