Acorns were good enough until bread was invented-Decimus Junius Juvenalis A.D. 125

About Me

I am a divorced Father of an amazing daughter. I like to think I played a big role in the person she is, but truth be told she has had a much greater impact on my life for good than I could possibly have had on her. I get along well with her mother and her step dad, (we even worked together for a couple of years).That said, I haven't had much of a social life the last dozen years or so and am setting out to change that. I love my work I am good at it. I love my Family we are a big group and get together often. My interests have become too narrow and I am also changing that. I am getting back into hiking, and cross country skiing, and want to give kayaking, dancing, and photography a try, If you have any other suggestions feel free to let me know. Interests Blogs

My Interests

Music:

At the moment I am really into Beethoven piano concertos, But I generally like most music. In high school I listened to a lot of classic jazz, Oscar Peterson is probably my favorite. Other than that My tastes are pretty main stream U2, B-52's, James Taylor, Old Chicago, The Living End, und Ramstein. I'm not familiar with much country or rap but can listen to most anything for an hour or two.

Movies:

I like good comedies, "Whats up doc" "Foul play" "Being there" "Holy Grail" "Office space" etc. I hate rhe current spate of remakes, Hollywood is supposed to be creative so quit rehashing mediocrity. Once in a while senseless action like Alien vs predator can be fun. and stuff like "To kill a mocking bird" "Mr. Hollands opus" and I'll admit to "the sound of music" and some sleepless in Seattle-ish type flicks.

Television:

I really like good documentaries, Frontline on pbs does good work, some sports, I actually prefer radio, cooking shows, and most of the rest is all rerun, Seinfeld, Simpsons, Raymond, and Fear factor reruns with my daughter I don't know why this has come about but we have fun watching it together.
