Places I've been

First off, I've been on EONS longer than is indicated. . .it's just that I quit once, then came back. I used to have this really cool profile with all kinds of pictures from when I was a kid in Tennessee. . .may do it again if I get ambitious. Lived in the San Diego area since 1962. Been to Europe a few times: Bicycle toured there with my wife on our honeymoon. Been to most parts of the States, with the exception of New England :-( really want to see it some day.

Education

• San Diego State University , History - 1971 to 1976

Mostly work. I like to bicycle along the coast. Still putting kids through college, so I'm kinda busy.

60's and 70's rock and all types of popular from that era. Disco bites. I like some of the new stuff the kids listen to, but not much. Like some jazz ( Dave Brubeck ) and classical.
