Things I Like: good music (obviously!) good food, good books, good movies, beautiful women, skiing, falling snow, my '79 Ford LTD, my seasonal campsite in Pascoag RI which I share with our Webmaster Jimbo, driving my boss crazy, being in love, my family and friends, people who are not afraid to be who they are and will accept me for who I am in all my splendid weirdness.

Things I Hate: Ignorant and stupid people, yuppies (wait, they're the same), people in general, bad drivers, mean people, people with no work ethic, mainstream music and pop culture in general, yuppie corporate America, and just about everything else.

Watch and listen for my upcoming solo album!!

Final Expressions: Buy some Kansas albums and be sure to read Every one of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt adventure novels!!!
