I like to spend time with my girls and go to new and exciting places with them. We have been fortunate to go all over the states thanks to the Air Force and have seen some beautiful country. My oldest daughter was born in Anchorage, AK, and my youngest in Rapid City, SD. I have been to just about every state and overseas to one of the 'Stans' and to Italy in my military travels.I also enjoy bowling and am a certified Bronze-level Youth Bowling Coach, having attained that level in 2004. This year marks my 10th year of coaching bowling. I myself do not bowl as much as I used to as there are not as many tournaments around the KC area compared to when I was in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I miss bowling the tournaments and all of my bowling pals in South Dakota and hope to get back up to see them someday and bowl with them again. I have one 300 on my bowling resume.
Although we teach our girls to not ever place people above you just because of their name or monetary status, there are a few people who I would like to converse with...Walter Ray Williams, Jr.-Professional Bowler; Ronnie James Dio-Former lead singer of Rainbow and Black Sabbath; and Billy Moyer-5 Time World 100 Late Model Champion.
As far as music goes, I am a Metalhead. I grew up with Sabbath, Maiden, Priest, Dio, Slayer, (old) Metallica, Manowar and Ozzy. I have many fond memories of seeing my favorite artists in concert back where I grew up in Pocahontas, IL, not too far from St. Louis, MO. I am also a fan of the "New Wave of American Metal" movement, with Shadow's Fall leading the way. I also enjoy classic rock with some of my favorite bands being Pink Floyd, Kansas, (old) Journey, (old) REO, (old) Styx, Alice Cooper, B.O.C., Triumph and AC/DC. Since I am originally from the St. Louis area, of course my favorite radio station is (and always will be as long as they keep rocking), K-SHE '95. There's no other station like K-SHE, period! I love the classics show and listen to it on-line in the mornings when I'm writing my Sunday morning race report and results articles. Some of my favorite K-SHE Classic bands are 707, Touch, April Wine, Angel, D.O.A., and U.F.O.
Not a big movie goer, unless the girls want to go watch movies, CARS was really good though!
I don't watch TV but I do have VH-1 Classic on in the background, especially when Metal Mania is on!
I need to read more, but I like classic horror novels when I do read.
