About Me




My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Variety is the spice of life, so "they" say. Life is the journey, not the destination! And all that jazz ... yadda, yadda, yadda! Toward those ideals, I would like to meet an eclectic mix of people from whatever walk of life they're taking. Aside from them, if place and time were no hindrance, here's a start: Bruce Springsteen, William Shakespeare, Sir Isaac Newton, Diogenes, Archimedes, Ovid, Homer, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Alexander the Great, William of Ockham, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, whoever carved the Venus de Milo, Peter the Great, Attila the Hun, Bobby Fischer, Teri Garr, Michelle Pfeiffer, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert E. Lee, Winston Churchill, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Kristin Davis, Bill Clinton, Lou Reed, Dan Marino, Greg Maddux, Bobby Cox, Tom Glavine, Dolly Parton, Mae West, Lana Turner, Terri Farrell, Loretta Swit, Martin Luther, John Knox, Martin Luther King, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Francois Auguste Rene Rodin, Bill Maher, George Washington, Andrew Jackson, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, William Jennings Bryan, Abraham Lincoln
