About Me

I am a retired computer analyst, living the not so "Luxe Life" near Las Vegas.
My Personality is Very Rare (INFP)
My personality type is dreamy, romantic, elegant, and expressive.
Only about 5% of all people have my personality, including 6% of all women and 4% of all men
I am Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving. Healer Role Variant

A dichotomy is a division of two mutually exclusive groups, or in this case, type preferences.

This is my astrological chart for Pottsville, PA at 12:30 AM EST on August 6, 1948.
Astrologers, feel free to interpret and e-mail me !
My Birthdate: August 6 (no gifts, please - donate to your favorite charity!)
"You tend to be a the rock in relationships - people depend on you.
Thoughtful and caring, you often put others needs first.
You aren't content to help those you know... you want to give to the world.
An idealist, you strive for positive change and dream about how much better things could be.
Your strength: Your intuition
Your weakness: You put yourself last
Your power color: Rose
Your power symbol: Cloud
Your power month: June" What Does Your Birth Date Mean?How Rare Is Your Personality?
There is an even rarer type of personality, called "no personality" --- considering how rare it is, it is amazing how the pharmaceutical companies are working so very hard to make this non-personality type more prevalent ... Prozac, anyone? :)

I Am A Fan Of Jimmy Limo And
The Vegas Lounge Scene
I've lived in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, New Mexico, Washington State, Southern Cally & (of course) Nevada. ( Geminis love to travel :-) There is still such a thing as a sub-cultural perspective & nuances based upon geographical region, even in the USA. My current home --- Las Vegas,Nevada --- is, or was, mucho influenced by being located in the Southwest, but lately the outside developers are changing it into a "travel destination". --- I hate that, it makes Vegas available only to people who have a lot of money to throw away. I like the old Vegas I knew back in the 80's. It may seem silly to say, but that's why the free live music "lounge" scene is kind of a symbol for me of the kind of old Vegas entertainment that is quickly dying here. It is all so corporate bottom line, cold, & homogeneous now. ( Dare I say that Vegas was better when it was run by the mob! ) Bring back the Rat Pack mentality of Old Vegas!!
"Now's a good time to mention that admission to the original Rat Pack show, including dinner, cost $5."
"I can see why the trio was such a hit with Vegas audiences during the Rat Pack heyday in the 50s and 60s. They made it look so easy—you just want to sidle up to the piano, grab a smoke, pour a drink and hang out with the guys, laugh a little, sing a lot, and fly to the moon."
"The two-drink-minimum lounge shows, generous comps and economical rooms had been used to draw 'sheep that come to be sheared' into the casinos, but those are gone - and so is the elegance that they nurtured, ... "You go into a (casino) bar today and it's not a bar; it's part of the slot department."

At one time long ago the casino revenues subsidized the hotel rooms, restaurants, and entertainment. No more: the casinos now depend on rooms, restaurants, shows & nightclubs to meet their bottom line. Music in the casino is now usually piped in via satellite radio!
