About Me

I am semi-retired practitioner of Itto Tenshin Ryu Japanese Swordsmanship, meaning I train once a week if I am lucky. My wife (Debbie) and I live 7300 feet in the mountains east of Albuquerque. We like to run with our 6 dogs, bicycle, work on our lil cabin, feed the birds, look at the stars, and generally enjoy the scenery and the wildlife of the great southwest.I am a recovering addict of Massive Multiplayer Online Games(MMOG)and was particularly fond of Star Wars Galaxies. I still have terrific friends from the great and still active, RAID rebel guild (Rebels Against Imperial Domination). I do play World of Warcraft (swordsman, of course) but not addictively...at least thats the plan!Alas, I still have a day job with the public schools but retirement is in my future. I look forward to the day when I can spend all my time enjoying the mountains with my family, writing ( S L O W L Y ) on my science fiction novel, watching good films, and making connections with good people like you all!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
