About Me

Salvador Dalí
Greetings and Salutations!
Life is an adventure and I will continue to explore and experiment without let up. I married my best friend Mikey and I have two beautiful children; Ryan and Bee. Life is Good!
I enjoy the company of kind and interesting people. My friendships over the years have enriched and made my life very interesting.
Religion in my opinion is a nasty virus--preaching will get you eye rolls and irritated sighs.
"You never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the price he has to pay for being intelligent but not, as yet, intelligent enough." - Aldous Huxley
