I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

It's me and my wife and son. We all live outside Indianapolis yet close enough that we feel connected to the pulse of the city. Honest! I write. Look at the pretty pictures!

My Interests

I like theatre, music and gadgets.

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, Paul the Apostle, Harpo Marx, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Stephen Hawking, and Benjamin Franklin.

Music:

After being in radio for 13 years, I prefer less popular music. You know, something that hasn't been played to death! I like some classics because they define my youth, like Bob Seger and the Alan Parsons Project. However, if you were to peek in my stereo these days you'd see the Modern Skirts, Sigur Ros, and several more! I even like Big Band music and have a few killer CDs from Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, and Benny Goodman. Lately, I've had an appreciation for clasical and music from days gone by. My favorite CD right now is the music of Scott Joplin! Not Janis, but Scott. You know, The Entertainer?

Movies:

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Jaws, Memento, Arthur, and many more!.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy,Indiana Week In Review, Washington Week in Review, other political talking head shows. I watch Charlie Rose when I stay up late. I have a fondness for My Name is Earl, too.

Books:

* A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson * A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes by Stephen W. Hawking* Shakespeare* James Whitcomb Riley

Heroes:

Mom and Dad, World War II veterans, survivors of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and others that I cannot think of.
