Places I've been

I love San Diego, and I've spent some time in Houston. San Francisco is awesome, I've visited a variety of places in Colorado, Arizona and California. Guess I'm not much of a traveler ... yet! Oh, I forgot: Hawaii, Japan, Hong Kong, Guam, The Philippines, and Thailand. Plus Viet Nam. Easy to forget.

More about me

I'd follow Barack Obama anywhere! He MUST win this election!

I'm a retired real estate appraiser who is now a wannabe photographer and I'd love to travel in Europe to take tons of photos, make lots of sketches (if I get better at it!) and just generally enjoy life there for a while. I have two kids, a son age 31 and a daughter age 29. I have several hobbies, and I seem to flit from one to the other. I would like to learn to play the guitar MUCH better than I currently do. I want to learn Yoga. I need to learn how to cook. "Me and Stouffer's" just doesn't cut it anymore!

I usually hang out in jeans, t-shirts and sneakers. Suits and ties are not my thing. I read a lot when I can, and I love listening to music. I am busily trying to learn to express myself in creative ways, especially through my photography, but also including writing poetry, drawing, and painting.

and i like good poetry and poets,
good photographs and photographers,
good books and writers,
good art and artists,
good music and musicians,
and good sex when i can get it;

i love the smells of coffee,
women's hair,
pineapples,
chinese food,
emeraude by coty,
most flowers,
barbecue,
lasagna,
watermelon flavored gum on Jill's breath,
Beth's hand lotion,

Maggies messages,

fresh air at least 7,500 feet above sea level,
Mission Bay,
and dion's special pizza.

You may have noticed that all of my photos (except for the avatar) are missing. Until the powers that be can get the downloading stuff corrected, they will remain gone.

Okay, I now have some photos up!

 

 

 

 

Activities

Photography, target shooting, collecting stuff, playing guitar (okay, I do a poor impression of a guitar player!), writing a little bit of poetry, drawing, hiking and fishing, but I rarely get to do that anymore. I want to learn Yoga.

Favorite Charities

Anything that helps battered women.

Favorite Music

Oh, man. I like a variety of music. Presently my favorites are classical (Mozart, Beethoven, etc.) and classical guitar. I used to listen to classic rock all the time, and I still enjoy it on occasion.

Favorite TV Shows

"LOST" (I won't miss it!), "Jericho" (terrific premise), the original "CSI", "The Closer", and a few sitcoms. I loved "Friends" and I like to catch some reruns. I also enjoy watching "Charmed".

Favorite Movies

All three "Lord of the Rings" movies by Peter Jackson, "You've Got Mail", "Sleepless in Seattle", "The Notebook", "Fried Green Tomatoes", all the "Star Wars" movies, "Silverado" and some made for TV movies like those on Lifetime or Hallmark channels. Oh, and anything with Sela Ward in it.

Favorite Books

"The Lord of the Rings" by far. Then anything by Dan Brown ("The Da Vinci Code"), Robert Ludlum's earlier stuff, many of the "classics" like "The Count of Monte Cristo", "Lord Jim", "Of Human Bondage", "The Four Feathers" (one of my all time favorites), "Don Quixote" and similar works. Also the works of Mark Twain. And I read a lot of poetry.

Favorite Quotes

"If you come to a fork in the road, take it" - Yogi Berra

Anyone who pursues their passion.

Favorite Places

Real places, or the ones in my head?
