a softball playin' paranormal investigator from PA

About Me

I've been playing softball for about 19 years now; I'd play all year if possible. I made the All-Conference team in college, and also various all-star teams. Right now, I play first base, because my shoulder and AC joint is about shot, so I can't make the throws like I used to. The new softball season starts in about 2 months. Go Fungirls!! Last year we finished in 2nd place, and this year, we plan to finish on top!My other main interest is paranormal research. I'm a lead investigator and also the chief historical researcher with the Berks Lehigh Paranormal Association (BLPA, www.berksparanormal.com), and we're part of the TAPS family. I've been interested in ghost research for years now, and some of my stories have been published in Mark Nesbitt's Ghosts of Gettysburg books V & VI. Just look for my name in the acknowledments. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I joined the BLPA three years ago, and it's been great ever since. We're now filming Project Afterlife, a reality show, where viewers can see us on real investigations doing what we do. Our motto is: Keepin' it real!!Someday I will join the ranks of the National Park Service as a ranger historian, as soon as some jobs open up at a Civil War battlefield or three. Hopefully, my Master's degree in U.S. History looks good to someone somewhere.
You Are A Martini
You are the kind of drinker who appreciates a nice hard drink.
And for you, only quality alcohol. You don't waste your time on the cheap stuff.
Obviously, you're usually found with a martini in your hand. But sometimes you mix it up with a gin and tonic.
And you'd never, ever consider one of those flavored martinis. They're hardly a drink! What Alcoholic Drink Are You?
You are 100% Scorpio
How Scorpio Are You?..

Your 1996 Theme Song Is: Ironic by Alanis Morisette
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures What's Your 1996 Theme Song?
1985 by Bowling for Soup
"Where's the mini-skirt made of snakeskin?
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen?
When did reality become T.V.?
What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows?"
