About Me

I once made the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs.

My coworker, Judy, says that when you tell a lie you get a "lie bump" on your tongue.

I don't like tags on the inside of my clothes. They bother my sensitive skin.

Places I have lived besides Milwaukee: Monterey Bay, CA, Madison, WI, New London, CT, and Boston, MA. Place I would go back to: Bean Town.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Finding someone who repairs old Hi-Fi's, cookouts, patios with friends and margaritas, KEXP live internet radio, Riverwest Stein, Dogs, live music, mexican food, bowling, softball, cribbage, running, bicycling, crosswords. Recovering Ebay junkie. Traveling - esp. w SD.
Dislikes: Litter bugs, injustice, a-hole drivers who don't stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, parking tickets, urban sprawl, the destruction of ancient forests, out-of-control consumerism.

I'd like to meet:


I'd like to meet *THIS* woman. She works downtown, I see her walking to & fro. She likes to wear flip-flops and read while she walks and she really has a glow about her. She is my dream catch. I am crushing on her bigtime. If anyone has any info and can make an introduction, I would be in your debt. I think it could really change my life.

Shiny, happy, people.

Let me tell you about Commodore Sarah

We were unpacking boxes and I came across a book I bought about 15 years ago.  It was about the grand French ocean liner, Normandie.  Before Air travel was commonplace, great ocean liners co...

Our Trip to Jamaica

half loaf.

Why don't they sell half loaves of bread?  I can never get through an entire loaf without it starting to go stale.  As a single person living alone I waste too much food.  I can't wait ...

Farewell Hi-Hat & Garage

Last night I went to the Hi-Hat Garage and ordered a Riverwest Stein - as I've done frequently for the last 7 years.  I was shocked to learn they have raised the price of a pint of Stein to $5.&n...

Drycleaning voodoo

drycleaning amazes me.  How do they get things so clean and the colors so bright?  I'm starting to suspect that when I hand them a sweater they go out and buy a new one and throw mine away.&...

I need an eBay intervention

My eBay obsession hit a new low today.  I'm normally bidding on and tracking a shitload of items.  Sometimes I watch items to see how much they sell for before I start bidding.  I'm cur...
