About Me



Okay ... I'm 51 ~ officially over the hill? Nah, life is just starting to get interesting. I've been fortunate to be able to travel and live overseas, visit some cool islands and just 'be me!' I've even owned and operated a restaurant and motel. I still have a long ways to go and many things left to conquer.

My Interests



And add George Clooney and Pierce Bronson to the mix!

I like Betty Boop, as you can see. She was one of my favorite cartoon characters when I was growing up.

What's cooler than Betty Boop Biker Babe!

Since GW Bush STOLE the 2000 election, I have really taken the time to understand politics better. I miss all that Peace & Prosperty the Clinton & Gore team brought to our nation! We can only hope that Senator Hillary Clinton helps us take back America!

Al Gore, an extremely talented man that was cheated out of his rightful place as President of the USA.
It's all about the PEACE when at all possible. NEVER an unjust war, NEVER AGAIN!

I'd like to meet:


The 2008 Presidential candidates. The man or woman that will help heal this nation.

Music:

I grew up listening to hard rock and gospel. Hard rock eventually won out. I have mellowed out since then and listen to a variety of music, including Irish tunes and alternative. My sister is a flutist for an Irish band, KNOTT FIBB'N ~ and hey, I get all her CD's for free. Their fourth CD is being released soon! Beth is a really cool musician as well as a sister! You can visit the band's page here: www.myspace.com/knotfibbnceltic

This is a picture of my Mom on the cover of this CD, MY HEART SAYS GOODBYE. My sister recorded it after our Mother had passed away. It was a tribute to both our parents and exhibits the emotions one goes through after the loss of a loved one.

Movies:

I like war movies, old and new. Romance movies when I'm in the mood and I always love a good scary movie.

I saw the controvesial movie, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, and well ... it wasn't 'all that.' I truly liked Jake Gyllenhaal better in JARHEAD.

Television:

I like a few select sitcoms. Two and Half Men is my favorite. ER, Medium, The Daily Show, HGTV ...

Books:

I'm not big into newer fiction. I've read a lot of the VC Andrew series and I do enjoy the classic novels. I think I own a zillion arts and crafts type books. Just call me crafty, pun intended.

Heroes:

Doctors that aren't in it just for the money. You know ... the ones that really want to help people. Jesus Christ and Spider Man, just to name a few.

Okay, Spiderman is a Super Hero. I can't wait to see Part III.

Oh no, he took his hood off!

Bummer ~

I'm now wearing this 'bone stimulator' belt around my waist for several hours a day. For like .. 6 freaking months. Hopefully, this preventive measure will keep me from having another surgery. ...

The Saga of the mysterious back problem was determined today by a Neurosurgeon who did my spinal fusion in 2004. The 'screws' have come loose. Ouch! Lots of decisions to make in the coming week or so...
