About Me

"Of all God's creatures, there is only one that cannot be made the slave of the lash. That one is the cat. If man could be crossed with a cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat."-Mark Twain ____________________________________________________________ _One day I will do the things I want rather than the things I need. More likely than not I’ll be old and decrepit, no longer have an imagination, and lose my desire for love. I’ll be a Republican…-John Gray

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080312/ts_afp/healthdiseasecan cerbiotechdrugs_080312181303 As many of you know I annually post a plea for your donation to breast cancer research. The aforelinked story proves that something is actually being done to find a cure. Your cash is not being donated in vain. Kinda makes you feel good inside doesn't it?

My Interests

I work and live on a Thoroughbred horse farm, which consumes the largest part of my life. In what little spare time I have from the farm I play guitar, write music, watch movies, and drink beer amongst other things. I like good beer, not Bud, for example. I can’t really rank beer because it’s all special in it’s own way. Although I will say that there is a special place in my heart and liver for Guinness. If it ever needs a place to stay, mi liver es su liver. I also enjoy Bodington’s Pub Ale, Xingu, Mcewan’s Scotch Ale, Ephemere, Old Engine Oil, Young’s Double Chocolate Stout, Wexford’s Irish Crème Ale, etc.Poll: Bullshit Is Most Important Issue For 2008 Voters
