: About Me

I got married Woodstock Weekend. Drove right by the thruway exits oblivous of what was going on there on way to New England for honeymoon. Funny how I loved the music of the 60's but didn't have any knowledge of this event until after the fact. Anyway, still married. Two children. One just graduated college and one still "pacing herself" as Bill Murray so eloquently stated in Stripes. Pondering several things - retirement, writing a couple novels, following some band around the country - Moody Blues or CSN or America. Wondering how I missed a group like October Project when they were popular. But content - at least right now. Making enough money as guidance counselor/drivers ed teacher. Making some trips - live in Texas but trips just completed or planned to Florida, California, and New York. Biggest wonder - wonder if I'll see a basketball (Mavericks) or baseball (Rangers) championship in my lifetime. Good chance for Mavs, not so good for Rangers!

"We'll be there for a week so let's get lift tickets for every day ahead of time." "Let's rent a car so we can drive back to Denver after we ski for some nightlife" If you are going skiing with your family or a group of friends for the first time at a resort some distance from your home, make sure that you don't say or do anything close to the aforementioned quotes. First, do not for a minute think that because you have been water skiing a nu...
