How’s this for honesty? ME. My daughter Jade Morrigan, my son Julian Alexander, and the love of my life Kathryn (without whom life would not only be nearly impossible to manage, but I would be lost) , success (an endless aspiration to always move forward), fast cars (particularly the late model Camaro SS), live music, guitar/bass/drums/singing, literature (reading in general), craftsmanship, natural stone, intelligent conversation, well-made tools, Schecter-Specter-& Alverez, good movies, true friends (a rare breed)(an even more rare breed than I would have thought), looking to the future, Sam Adams, “By the people, FOR the peopleâ€, not smoking (5-1/2 years now), debating ANYTHING, mass quantities of self confidence, quiet time, ipods, being the best at what I do, camping, history (ancient or otherwise), playing the devil’s advocate, science, putting rude people in their place, word-play, working on my home, being strict yet showering love and affection, figured wood, drag racing, good fwd emails (don't know why I'm addicted to them), warm spring breezes, dirty pictures of beautiful women (lol- Do I need to justify this?), streetfire.net, independent political thought, Mmmmmmilk! (alas I have given up milk.), cooking, Glen Echo Lake, conservatism, having an office/music room with a monstrous window overlooking the lake, helping my children with their homework, being proud of those I love for each their own reasons, running into people I haven't seen in awhile, re-opening lines of communication, memories, steak, Kathy's paintings, photography, antique furniture, antique anything,
