About Me

Wannabe rockstar...ok my singing cracks glass and my guitar playing consists of 5 or 6 cords...but I can write something kick ass for someone else to sing...hmmm...wannabe song-writer? I'm married and I have three drop-dead gorgeous kids (two boys and a girl). I'm helplessly in love with them all plus my golden retriever Fisher...what else...I'm a geek, I write poetry, read constantly, I love being 'down the shore' but only when it is about 20 degrees, and moonlit. I love to work out and I love to run. Hmmm....I liked to eat dirt as a kid and well, while my appetite for soil has subsided, I love being outside, in the woods, wherever covered with dirt and ticks and thorns...I still like to catch crayfish and fish for bluegills using hotdogs for bait...grow up? Huh? .. MySpace Profile Help!

My Interests

There is nothing better than sitting next to an open window listening to a thunderstorm and watching the rain come down. "I can hear the rain come down. I can listen with my heart. I can see you with both eyes closed, in the dark" -Mary Chapin Carpenter
