More about me

I'm 5 years divorced from a 33 year marriage. I live with my daughter, helping her, by tending to her two kids (ages 4 and almost 6) while she works. My life has sort of been on hold for her sake but one of these days it'll be time to move on. Until then, I'll just enjoy watching my grandkids grow up. Times are different now and they have a hard row to hoe. I like listening to classic rock but I like a lot of the new stuff too. If you wan-na know anything else, just ask.

Activities

I like auto racing. The 1/4 mile stuff is awesome. Course most tracks are going to 1/8th mile but hey that's ok too.

Favorite Charities

That'ld have to be Jerry's kids and the Muscular Distrophy Association.

Favorite Music

There's nothing quite like classic rock.

Favorite TV Shows

I used to love to watch that 70's show but I don't watch TV so much any more.

Favorite Movies

Easy Rider...I've patterned my life pretty much after that movie. I have mellowed out some. At least Born to be Wild isn't my national anthem anymore.

Favorite Books

I guess that would be horror. I like to read Dean Kuntz books.

Favorite Quotes

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Favorite People

I guess that would be my friends.

Favorite Places

I think on a mountain, in the forrest, by a river would be a cool place to live.

Favorite Animals

That'ld have to be the wolf but dolphins are pretty cool too.
