About Me

My Space or Yours? Myspace Layouts and more at myspaceoryours.net!

I love pants. And Julio Franco. And I truly believe that cheese is delicious.But I suppose everybody knows that. At least about the cheese.I grew up in Garland, after moving from Pittsburgh. Went to UT and got a degree in Public Relations. Worked in non-profit and then joined the Peace Corps where I lived and worked in Peru for a year and a half til I got cholera.So, I'm back in Dallas and doing social work for the State of Texas.So cheers. Yup. And eat your cheese. But not that crazy drug kind the kids are using. I mean the kind that melts. And you chew. Stupid kids having to ruin all the best words for us old people...

My Interests

Books, beer and Julio Franco. I like the baseball too. But really, I'm lucky enough to have my family live near by and they are the world to me. Nothing beats that. I enjoy sports too much. I'm playing co-ed softball in a beer league in Dallas. The Julio batting stance didn't do so hot in the first season, but at least the team made the play-offs. That's big-time. But nothing beats a day on the lake. Even if I do wake board like a chump, but I'm gonna learn. I lived in Peru and absolutely go nutty with the thought of international travel. Unfortunately, I don't get to do it often enough. And I think burping is funny. But the best thing in life? Definately has to be the fact that my 5 year old niece can fart on command. I so love that kid.

He was stinking on deck!

An ode to Julio, not in lyrical form. That will come later
