About Me


Happily married for 13 years with three wonderful kids, we live in New England.

I am an American with a heritage of Portugese & French, with a little Native American tossed in.

Along with the ups and downs of OCD (yes, there can be an upside), I am a Steve Austin wannabe. That is, I have had three joint replacements (left knee, right hip and left hip).

I write. Check out my articles.

More articles I wrote.

I also completed the National Novel Writing Month challenge.

A review of the late 80s horror classic tv show.

My Interests

I like spending time with my family, hanging out at home. Maine in the summer, Florida in the fall. Love the Boston Red Sox! Love writing and reading.

I'd like to meet:

Live long enough to meet my future grandchildren.

Etsy: Your place to buy & sell all things handmade
Wings1295.etsy.com

Music:

Country, 80s/90s pop, Christmas music; depends on my mood, really.

Movies:

Horror movies, obviously; classics; action; sci-fi; comedy. If you want to know what I like, ASK ME.

Television:

Again, ask me.

But, I HATE "reality" tv.

Books:

Love books. Two favorites are The Witching Hour by Anne Rice and The Princess Bride by William Goldman.I like Dickens, Twain, Koontz, Patterson, Deaver, Rowling, Jeff Lindsay. And I am an Aquaman fan.

Heroes:

My hero is my wife. She is an amazingly wonderful, beautiful woman, and I know how lucky I am.

"Hurt" by Johnny Cash

I don't know what kind of mood I got into tonight. I was sitting here, alone after everyone went to bed, watching the Sox lose. Again. I started browsing YouTube for old music videos. As usual with m...

Three Weeks Later

One Month

I feel like I should write something special, seeing as how it is one month from today I will be getting my brandy-new hip. Not feeling anything special, so I will just write what I am feeling. It is...

Pain

Life is pain. I kept repeating this to myself the other day. Not that I believe this. Or, rather, not that I want to believe this. I try to be optimistic about life and it's ups and downs. Not always...

Anybody who knows me knows I don't scare easily. I have seen dozens of horror movies. "Slasher" movies don't scare me. Although, "Halloween" can still creep me out. In fact, the only movie that has e...

The tv show "Monk" features, as it's lead character, a person suffering from OCD. While the show and Tony Shaloub, who plays Mr. Monk, get a lot of the quirks of OCD right, they are still off the mar...

Philly Ad...

Ok, before I rant, I just want to say that I have NOTHING against the city of Philadelphia. I have never been there, but it sounds like a great place. Wouldn't know it from their ad. I cannot stand ...
