You can't fly by the seat of your pants when you are wearing a kilt!

About Me


You are now marked on my profile visitor map! Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive... I'm a science geek, love turning students on to microbiology. Conventional is not for me, even tho I guess I quailfy as a responsible adult I gotta be me. Maybe I'm just wierd but think of myself as eccentric. Love the freedom of kilts, UtiliKilts rock!! I'm proud of my Irish heritage, 1/4 Irish from my father's maternal grandparents. Music feeds my soul, live music scene here in T-town is pretty good for a hick, backwater town...jk, I do really love T-town, favs are The Mandolin Cafe and Jazzbones.Favorite quotes- "Be who you are & say what you feel, those that mind don't matter & those that matter don't mind!" Dr. Suess.........Happiness is like peeing your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you know how warm it makes you feel. :-)
