About Me

I'm a frustrated writer marking time in an office job and I am published cook who is again marking time in an office job.....I hate working in NYC and I hate my commute.....I was at MSG in 1994 when the New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup - by far the greatest moment in my life to that point - still in the Top 5 now........performed on Broadway for one night and one night only in March of 1979.......was a mascot for a minor league hockey team in 1987-88........I like golf but if I never played again it wouldn't miss it - my handicap is 13.1......the summer I spent during college in Wyoming as a woodcutter, maintenance man, gardener and a one day a week garbage man (for the 35 mile ride into town) was the summer I fell in love with the American West.....skiing in the east isn't happening anymore unless I have to for work.....I lost something I will never be able to find again in the bushes outside the casino in Monte Carlo......I quit drinking 20+ years ago and I don't miss it at all.......yardwork is therapy......I saw Bob Marley live in concert 18 months before he died - I saw Peter Tosh open for Jimmy Cliff - I partied in a bar with Third World and saw Toots & the Maytals in a tiny auditorium in New Hampshire - but the best show I ever saw was James Brown in a smoky little dive in Denver........Chipotle Tabasco can be used on almost anything and should be used liberally - I have had a tour of the Tabasco plantation from Paul McIlhenny himself - I felt like I had gone to Mecca........I workout on the NordicTrack every morning at a way too early hour and I once bought John Elway a lapdance at Shotgun Willie's.....there's a lot more to tell and it all comes out a few pieces at time over in my blog..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People that have a slightly twisted & off center sense of humor.....LOST Fanatics......New York Rangers fans......Denver Broncos fans........people willing to take a risk in the kitchen and willing to order the not so obvious on the menu....though I know I probably have been ordering duck too often of late but I can't help myself....

My Blog

It's been real, it's been fun and now it's time to retire the sunglasses

Almost 3 years ago I signed onto MySpace for the first time. I was bored and I thought it was a passing fad. That I would be there & gone in just a few short weeks. I was wrong. I got hooked.Recently ...

LOST, Vacation, St. Paddy's Day & if you are over 27 you won't remember what I wrote

Odds are if you are over the age of 27, you probably are going to have a harder time understanding & remembering what I am about to write. At least that is what researchers at the University of Virgin...
