About Me

I like watching movies. I enjoy the outdoors - long walks through sheep pasture. I like sitting out in the sun with a cold, refreshing soda. I enjoy reading a good book. I like eating dinner with a few friends. I like talking and listening. I like driving around with no destination. The rain is great. Swimming is fun. I enjoy sitting in traffic. I like watching and playing a wide variety of sports. I like to try and be witty often, sometimes it works. I enjoy an old fashioned adventure. A fedora hat can make anyone cool. I also enjoy looking slick in a nice suit.
