About Me

You are all my friends and most of you know me well. Some of you know me better than others, so if you would like to know more, just ask. We can discuss it over coffee if you'd like.

I consider all of you a blessing. It is an honor and a priveledge to be called your friend. And I want to thank all you for blessing my life in so many ways. I know I will see you all again someday and I look forward to just hanging out and spending some quality time with each and every one of you.

In hope of shindig's to come. Cheers.

My Interests

Getting to know people and most anything that involves doing that.

I'd like to meet:

a few more good people.

Music:

I listen to music, but it sounds so different to me.

Movies:

I have been known to watch 10 movies in one sitting. I traveled so much that I never got to watch movies, so when I was home I would catch up. I would rather have coffee with a friend than watch a movie.

Television:

i don't watch TV, but I enjoy certain shows, at certain times, with certain people.

Books:

I read a lot. mostly adventure books.

Heroes:

Anyone that has or will challenge me to become better physically, mentally, or spiritually. All those who despite their imperfections still push the limits of being real in this world. my mother and father, James, David, and my late Uncle Jim. I would love to have lunch with him one last time. and most of all, my closest friends. Without all of you I would not be who I am today. So, Thank You.
