About Me

One part Aggravated Simpleton and one part Pleasantly Grand Knave. Mostly though, I'm just me.

My Interests

Who I am and What I like (today anyway)

    Pirate Jokes The color Forest Green Great examples of irony in every day life June 21st - The Longest Day of the year. I seem to have a gigantic Adam's apple lodged in my neck, but I think its endearing. I kind of like that. Bar Trivia, Trivial Pursuit, NTN Trivia, etc, etc Being the center of attention. Not being the center of attention. Flying. When I've got a little leg room and some patience, the best naps I've ever taken are 30,000 Taking the train...anywhere. The smell of Vanilla The look of a Cute girl with red hair The taste of white choclate A delicious Guinness Baileys. On the rocks. Chicken Pot Pies and Carrots. I really like carrots. The Game Show Network Getting comfortable. I'm all about comfortable. Pillow, couch, done. Scrabble and Sodoku. Spending the day watching baseball. Free museums in NYC.

My resume should read: World-Class Napper Excellent Post Card Writer Superb CD Mix maker Fantastic Jukebox Economist. Sold Parallel Parker Wonderful Sense of Direction/Avid Map Reader

I'd like to meet:

Alf (or Gordon Shumway if you knew him on Melmac)

Heroes:

"The Bomb" from The Sandwich Kings in Astoria, NY may be the best Hero I've ever tasted. But Jimmy John's had some pretty good ones too...
