ABOUT ME

I have lived in 16 countries and visited 100 more, but I still have places to see. Travel is my passion. Seen 6 of the 7 ancient wonders of the world and 6 of the modern 7. Swam in all the seas save the Antarctic. Drenched by Victoria, Tissisit, Niagara, and Iguasu Falls. Explored Atacama, Namibian, Nubian, Sahara, Thar, Great American, Northern Mexican deserts. Climbed Mt Kilamanjaro and the Great Pyramid. Ran with the Bulls in Pamplona. Rode my Harley from Florida to Alaska and back. Rode my Honda from Panama to Texas. Sang in musicals on three continents.

Music, Movies, and Books

As a friend put it, I enjoy "Mid-Romantic War Horses", e.g. Tchikovsky. I have sung in musicals and the first production of the Naples Opera (Naples, Florida that is). I read for information but do read Alberto Vargas Figueroa (Spain's most prolific writer) to keep up my Spanish and pleasure. I also write.
