CURRENT MISSION

My chief mission is to wake up each morning and be in the best possible mood I can be in thankful I am still alive and mobile, eager to see what there is to be learned today.

ABOUT ME

..am a gregarious person ... I spend my time gardening, building things, traveling via motorcycle solo for the most part,….i have a lovely wife who was my high school sweetheart, and a wonderful daughter. I am a very good photographer I am told, darn good cook, and can fix just about anything around the home: plumbing, electrical, etc… other than automobiles ....I read a lot, am able to communicate easily. I don’t take things too seriously, realize that variety in all things is what makes life a wonderful experience, ...not a big drinker, a glass or two of wine in the evening once I am done with driving... ... Am not a coffee drinker, a loose tea guy, ... Hate hotels having stayed in millions of them, and much prefer the company of not yet met friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a person well aware of how fleeting the moment is, that which we call a life, and how forces are at work to bend you to life choices that benefit the society you live in...I understand words and concepts such as kindness, apologies, anger, strength, weakness, fear and courage, and love.
