: About Me

I am an empty nester and happily married to a wonderful lady. A father of three and step-father of two. I am also a grandfather to six wonderful grandchildren. I believe there is no greater gift than that of a family. Included in this family is my Australian Shepherd "Casey", a very big part of our family.

My hobbies are reading (especially the history of Religion), walking (rain or shine), kayaking, boating, bicycling, driving in the country and smelling the cool evening air.

I also enjoy Jazz, Blues, Big Band and any genre that is pleasing to me.

I've enjoyed meeting folks from different areas of the World. I especially enjoyed getting to know folks from Spain, Turkey and Utah while a member of the U.S. Air Force.

I look forward to meeting more of you through the world of writing.

Well, that time came to me recently when I decided to plan the next location for me and my wife's weekly date night. What I yearned for was a burger! Not just any burger, but a cheesy one that is so juicy that it runs down your hand with each bite. I decided to treat my wife to a good old fashioned dinner at P. Terry's Burger Stand, an original in Austin, Texas. Yea, I know, this sounds a lot like a cheap date, b...
