Places I've been

Oh Lord, my dad was a salesman and we've lived all kinds of places from Avon Lake, Ohio to Tulsa, Oklahoma. The favorite places I've been for fun were San Francisco and New Orleans (before the devastation of Katrina). My beautiful daughter was conceived in New Orleans - quite by accident, I might add. Danged IUDs. She was just earlier than planned, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

More about me

Thirty seconds to introduce myself, huh?  Okay, I'm 54 years old - chronologically; about 17 mentally.  I have two wonderful children (three, counting my "other" son Brandon) and two beautiful granddaughters.  I'm just lucky to be here to enjoy it all after having survived a massive heart attack in 1998 and breast cancer in 2007 - still working on that one.  Never take anything for granted.  

Favorite Movies

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen; Dracula w/Frank Langella; Pirates of the Caribbean 1 & 2; Labyrinth; Field of Dreams; there are far too many to list.

Favorite TV Shows

Dark Shadows. Daily Show. Dexter. The Mentalist. Eleventh Hour. True Blood.

Activities

I LOVE spending time with my granddaughters. We have such fun!! I also like to read, fish, watch movies, junk like that.

Favorite Charities

I'm a sucker for a man in uniform, so most of the cop and firemen charities have my number and substantial contributions over the years - MONETARY, you guys! Well, there was this one cop . . . never mind.

Favorite Music

Pink Floyd, Don Henley, Janis Ian, the soundtrack from Immortal Beloved (Beethoven), Al Green. Again, it depends upon my mood.

Favorite Books

This is easy. Read my blogs.
